Inspiration

We wanted to build a system that can find unknown drones early and react fast.

What it does

Ground cameras detect a drone and follow it. From the camera angles, the system calculates the drone position using triangulation. Then a defense drone can start, fly to the target, detect it with its own onboard vision, follow it, and catch it with a net.

How we built it

We connected camera tracking, position calculation, and drone control into one system. The ground system finds the target, and the defense drone uses its own vision to finish the mission.

Challenges we ran into

It was hard to track small moving drones, calculate a stable position, and connect all parts in real time.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We built a working idea that combines detection, tracking, positioning, and defense in one system.

What we learned

We learned how camera tracking, triangulation, and autonomous drone control can work together.

What's next for Integrated Drone Defense & Situational Awareness System

Next, we want to make the tracking more stable, improve the drone vision, and test the full system in more real-world situations.
