Denying Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Invasion using High Power Electromagnetic Waves

POSTER

Abstract

A unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or simply a drone has no onboard human pilot. In recent years, UAVs are well developed and made commercially available. Several countries have operational, domestic UAVs, and many more have imported drones or have development programs under way. Airport control or public security might be endangered by intended invasion or accidental activities. A UAV might be used to carry aircraft ordnance such as missiles and is used for drone strikes. These drones are usually under real-time human control, with varying levels of autonomy, speeds, and payloads. Thus, denying this type of invasion is not a trivial task. In this work, electromagnetic effects on a UAV are studied using a 3-D conformal finite-difference time-domain simulation in order to find some solutions to mitigating a UAV invasion. The 3-D model of a commercially available drone has been built and investigated.
