Abstract

The necessity for maintaining surveillance in airborne environments is ever growing. Criminals and terrorists are finding new and elaborate means of attack, and small UAVs such as quadcopters and hexacopters could be a possible threat. Their small size and agile movement will make them difficult to detect. This work aims to determine whether or not these small UAVs can be detected at short range using radar, and if so, track them over time using a suitable filter such as a Bernoulli filter.
