Topic: 

Drone Surveillance Radars and Counter-Drone Systems (無人機偵蒐雷達及反制系統)

Abstract: 

Unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, have been used in a wide variety of applications and have increased in number rapidly in recent years. The popularity of drone usage, on the other hand, has also incurred an increasing threat to many facilities, including airports, power plants, and oilfields, among others. Due to the relatively small sizes and low cost of drones compared to conventional aircraft, the job of detecting and tracking drones by radars has become a more challenging task than detecting and tracking flying objects with larger sizes, especially when the cost of the radar system is of concern. In this talk, we will share Tron Future Tech’s view on drone surveillance radars and the associated counter-drone systems. In particular, we will introduce Tron Future Tech’s newly shipped T. Radar Pro™ based on an all-digital active electronically scanned array (AESA) featuring portability, low weight, superior performance against low-RCS targets, and affordability for mass deployment. An accompanying software, namely T. Meta™, not only serves as a GUI for the radars but also plays the vital role of the intelligence center that incorporates all kinds of hard-kill and soft-kill devices, which altogether constitutes the functionalities of a complete counter-drone system.
