Reconnaissance Radar Robot

During the last century, various countries' armed forces have used unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly known as drones. In recent years, strives have been made to develop small commercial drones that have allowed the general public to afford and use them for recreational purposes. The availability of drones has led to immoral applications of the technology. Such applications need to be faced with anti-measures and effective detection methods. Therefore, this thesis aims to develop a mobile reconnaissance robot that can detect commercial drones with radar. It describes integrating radar sensors with single-board computers to detect and localise air-bound objects. The finished product aims to be used for educational and exhibition purposes at the Swedish Armed Forces technical school to increase awareness of the technology.
