Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have developed a method to pinpoint the location of a drone operator who may be operating maliciously near airports or protected airspace by analyzing the flight path of the drone, providing a solution for a new and emerging threat.
Drones, small unmanned aerial systems, pose significant security risks due to their agility, accessibility and low cost. There is a growing need to develop methods for detection, localization and mitigation of malicious and other harmful aircraft operations.
