Abstract
A radar system for tracking UAVs and other low flying objects utilizing wireless networking equipment is provided. The system is implemented as a distributed low altitude radar system where transmitting antennas are coupled with the wireless networking equipment to radiate signals in a skyward direction. A receiving antenna or array receives signals radiated from the transmitting antenna, and in particular, signals or echoes reflected from the object in the skyward detection region. One or more processing components is electronically coupled with the wireless networking equipment and receiving antenna to receive and manipulate signal information to provide recognition of and track low flying objects and their movement within the coverage region. The system may provide detection of objects throughout a plurality of regions by networking regional nodes, and aggregating the information to detect and track UAVs and other low flying objects as they move within the detection regions.
