Abstract
The present disclosure describes various embodiments of systems and methods of detecting, classifying, and making a threat assessment of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). One such method comprises detecting a radio frequency (RF) signal; determining that the RF signal is generated from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based on the detected RF signal; classifying at least a make and model of the UAV based on the detected RF signal; sensing for a remote identification field data broadcasted by the UAV; receiving remote identification information of the UAV from a network database, if the network database is available; assessing a threat likelihood of the UAV based on joint processing of at least the RF signal based classification of the UAV and the received remote identification information of the UAV; and signaling an alert containing a description of the UAV and the threat if the UAV is assessed as a harmful threat.
