Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatus for performing an action when an aggregated confidence measure. Data is received from a first sensor proximate to a particular air space. Data is also received from a second sensor and a third sensor proximate to the particular air space. The data from the first sensor, second sensor, and third sensor are each analyzed to determine respective confidence measures that a UAV is within the particular air space. The first sensor corresponds to a first type of data, the second sensor corresponds to a second type of data, and the third sensor corresponds to a third type of data. The confidence measures from each sensor are aggregated together to generate a combined confidence measure indicating a possible presence of the UAV within in the particular air space. When the combined confidence measure exceeds a threshold, an action is taken.
