Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatus for identifying and tracking UAVs including a plurality of sensors operatively connected over a network to a configuration of software and/or hardware. Generally, the plurality of sensors monitors a particular environment and transmits the sensor data to the configuration of software and/or hardware. The data from each individual sensor can be directed towards a process configured to best determine if a UAV is present or approaching the monitored environment. Radar sensors included in the plurality of sensors may identify specific locations corresponding to objects in an airspace, and video sensors such as PTZ cameras may be directed to collect image data of the objects at the specific locations for identifying the objects as UAVs and tracking the UAVs. The system predicts next locations for the UAVs and directs the PTZ cameras to update their orientations for following the UAVs.
