Description
The ever growing threat of hostile and unauthorized drones drives the need for counter-action, starting with early detection and reaction. The low cost and availability of small and low flying drones increases both their extensive use in warfare and the accidents with them in civilian settings. Efficient and adequate counteraction requires a detailed study of the threat and a retrospective analysis of potential solutions to the problem. While some structures a robust enough for the small drones, large and valuable assets are both exposed and valuable. Some of these are long pipelines and power transmission lines of many kilometers, while others, like solar fields and antenna arrays and others are localized and compact. The presented paper focuses on the latter, while further work will continue for longer linear infrastructure.
