Today the urgency of operational counteraction to unmanned aerial vehicles is very high. A modern unmanned vehicle is able not only to conduct video reconnaissance in a given territory, but also to maintain a specific object for a long time. A "tethered" aircraft can, for several days, weeks or even months, monitor the territory attached to it.
In addition to reconnaissance, unmanned vehicles, are able to transport and transport dangerous goods to protected sites. This problem is very acute for prisons and colonies and requires special methods of struggle. Also, as an cargo, an explosive can be transported, which turns such a flying machine into a weapon capable of performing diversionary and terrorist tasks. The fight against offenders in this case must acquire a completely different character.
An important aspect of modern combat with aircraft is the method of early detection. This allows you to win the necessary time and use the correct countermeasures system. As, for example, a device with an explosive substance on board is dangerous to knock down a settlement and if the object is not found in time, then the list of possible methods of combat is reduced several times. Just take into account the fact that not every object can afford an expensive defense complex, capable of fighting at a distance of several kilometers. Taking into account this fact, software methods of fighting unmanned vehicles are becoming increasingly important. However, this system requires a constant update of software tools.
In this article, we will examine the main types of unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as modern methods of combating their unauthorized entry into the protected area. We will analyze the efficiency of the above methods with respect to various types of unmanned vehicles.
