Systems and methods for automated unmanned aerial vehicle recognition. A multiplicity of receivers captures RF data and transmits the RF data to at least one node device. The at least one node device comprises a signal processing engine, a detection engine, a classification engine, and a direction finding engine. The at least one node device is configured with an artificial intelligence algorithm. The detection engine and classification engine are trained to detect and classify signals from unmanned vehicles and their controllers based on processed data from the signal processing engine. The direction finding engine is operable to provide lines of bearing for detected unmanned vehicles.

A measurement system for identifying a source direction of a wireless electromagnetic emitter signal is described. The measurement system is a radio frequency measurement system that comprises a rotary antenna and an analyzer or analysis unit being connected to the rotary antenna in a signal transmitting manner. The rotary antenna is a directional antenna and configured to receive the emitter signal and to forward the received emitter signal to the analysis unit for further processing. The measurement system is configured to gather a momentary position of the rotary antenna. The analysis unit is configured to determine a momentary frequency spectrum of the emitter signal and to combine the momentary frequency spectrum with the momentary position to generate source direction data comprising information on both the momentary frequency spectrum of the emitter signal and the momentary position of the rotary antenna. Moreover, a method for identifying a source direction of a wireless electromagnetic emitter signal is described.

A slot array antenna includes: a first electrically conductive member having a first electrically conductive surface; a second electrically conductive member having a second electrically conductive surface opposed to the first electrically conductive surface; a waveguide member located between the first and second electrically conductive members; and an artificial magnetic conductor extending on both sides of the waveguide member in between the first and second electrically conductive members. The first or second electrically conductive member has a plurality of slots. The waveguide member includes an electrically-conductive waveguide face of a stripe shape opposed to the first electrically conductive surface. The plurality of slots include at least two slots that couple to the waveguide face. In between two positions respectively coupled to the two slots, the waveguide face includes at least one deflecting portion at which the direction that the waveguide face extends changes.

Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for locating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A region of airspace may be scanned with two scanning apparatuses. Each scanning apparatus may include one or more directional Radio Frequency (RF) antennae. The two scanning apparatuses may have different locations. Radio frequency signals emitted by a UAV can be received at each of the two scanning apparatuses. The received radio frequency signals can be processed to determine a first location of the UAV.
