D3S- Drone Security Surveillance System for Connected Drone Environment
Advances in technology have resulted in significant growth in automated
robots, sensors, electronics, and other connected devices. As a result, the
difficulty and expense of producing such devices have decreased. The
cost of producing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones has plummeted,
and the market for UAVs or drones has reached an all-time high.
Various types of drones have been introduced to date ranging from commercial
drones to drones for personal use cases. Since the development
and deployment of drones have increased significantly, there is a potential
security concern. This research proposes a Drone Security Surveillance
System (D3S) that uses a sensor with a software-defined radio networking
working in radio frequencies to combat drones that are deployed illegally
and in sensitive areas. To detect the presence of drones within the
required range, we integrate the Software-Defined Radio (SDR) with a
Raspberry Pi microcontroller and the required sensors. With the help of a
passive antenna, the SDR will sequence the radio frequencies from the
drone whenever the drone is within the range. We can integrate the data
decoded from radio frequencies into the application interface for a userfriendly
system. Considering public concerns over privacy, this sensor
system provides security, privacy, and safety. The system utilises a passive
antenna, so whenever a drone is present, the SDR quickly identifies
the drone through signal interference. Unlike most prior systems, which
only detect drones on either the 2.4 or 5.8 GHz bands, D3S system detects
drones on both the 2.4 and 5.8 GHz bands. This research is implemented
with raspberry pi hardware in handling all the operations and depicts the
processing of radio frequencies that are transferred between the drones
and their controller in a methodical manner. Result analysis attest the
benefits of the proposed D3S system in terms of range of drone related
metrics.
