Drones - technologies, use cases and risks

Drones can besides useful application fields as well be provided for criminal and other bad acts.Dependent on the intentions of the users, many negative applications can be imagined and countermeasures against many of then are currently being developed.

The project ArGUS (Assistenzsystem zur situationsbewussten Abwehr von Gefahren durch UAS) is concentrating on decision support based on a  multi sensorial detection aiming on the best solution for the security staff.

The detection is supported by a multi sensor approach based on visual, acustical, radar and high frequency sensors. The rough classification ist performed with the masuring information. Finer classification and situational awareness is derived by use of additional information about the scenes. Additionally, a simulation based prognosis of the possible further action elements can be used for the final decision about the single measures to be initialized by the security staff. The system is only acting as a consulting assistant, not as an automatic actor - this stays excluded
