Four ways to detect a drone — and the limits of each.
The drone-detection market is rapidly growing, and the core technology is now well established. Radar, RF, acoustic and EO/IR sensors are increasingly fused into a single operating picture, improving the ability to detect threats early.
Each sensor detects a drone through one physical signature — a radio link, a radar return, a sound, or a heat trace. As a result, each has specific conditions under which it performs well and others where its effectiveness drops. No single method covers every scenario, which is why layered, multi-sensor systems have become the standard approach.
Detection is only the first step: a track still has to reach a human operator who can act on it in time.
Here's how each sensor works, and where each has limits ↓
