Panasonic develops a technology to detect drones which is the starting point for controlling them

With 32 matrix microphones and a CCTV camera with rotation function, tilt and zoom, each sensor can detect a drone at distances of up to 300 Meters, through a field of view of 150 Meters. This finder analyzes surrounding noises to remove them from detection.

Drones represent a technological advance with many possibilities that, in the wrong hands, can become a threat. To deal with a possible terrorist use of drones in any public space, the Ministry of the Interior collaborates with other European governments to find technical solutions that allow detection, denial and neutralization of these devices. Also, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is finalizing a study on the risk of collision between aircraft and drones.

Panasonic it is also researching to help in the face of these threats and has developed a prototype drone finder., which was presented in the last edition of Ifsec 2016, which was held from the 21 To 23 June in London. A technology that allows detecting drones, what is considered the starting point to control them.

“The growing popularity of drones has been exponential, but little progress has been made in protecting restricted areas from the potential danger they pose. Our tracking technology will help detect and discourage its use around areas such as military or government buildings.”, points out Gerard Figols, Director of Product Marketing, Panasonic Europe.
