Abstract
Methods and systems for detecting and passively monitoring communication of an unmanned aerial vehicle are disclosed. In an example method, a radio frequency spectrum is scanned to detect one or more radio signals transmitted within a pre-defined area. A modulated radio signal of interest from the one or more radio signals is determined. The radio signal of interest is associated with a drone. The radio signal of interest is captured. The radio signal of interest is demodulated to determine coded sensor data carried by the radio signal of interest. The sensor data is determined by the drone. The coded sensor data is decoded to determine a characteristic of the sensor data. An alert is generated based on the characteristic of the sensor data.
