Sensor-Agnostic, 3D Data Fusion Engine for Complex Environments
Detection of drones or Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) is moving towards a multi-sensor approach for fixed site (and in certain situations, vehicles and ship systems), where the space and budget allows (due to ability to provide better detection results with multiple sensor modalities, such as Radio Frequency, radar, acoustic and camera systems). This can be deployed in a single or across multiple nodes.
However the multi-sensor approach only generates better results, with an intelligent software engine to fuse together the sensor outputs and give an intelligent set of outputs – otherwise adding more sensors is counterproductive as it creates more data without a clear way to manage it.
DroneShield has developed a true AI-based SensorFusion engine, SensorFusionAI (SFAI), initially for its own DroneSentry-C2 Command-and-Control system, including all common drone detection modalities (RF, radar, acoustics, camera), is now available for third party C2 manufacturers to add SFAI to their C2 systems, thus improving the performance of their C2 offerings.
