Counter unmanned aerial system with navigation data to Intercept and/or disable an unmanned aerial vehicle threat

This invention describes a ground-based system designed to detect and track unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones. It uses multiple sensors, specifically radar and optical cameras (including infrared), positioned on the ground to pinpoint a drone's exact location and characteristics. The system then processes this sensor data to identify the drone, with the ultimate goal of either diverting or disabling it.

Why it matters: Filed before the latest advancements in AI-driven sensor fusion and real-time object recognition for small, fast-moving targets. These software improvements now make the core detection and tracking claims significantly more robust and accurate.
