Pero derribar UAV\u00b4s sobre zonas pobladas no es lo ideal, por los da\u00f1os colaterales que pueden ocurrir. Por esa raz\u00f3n, EUA est\u00e1 invirtiendo millones de US$, asignados a la empresa Fortem Tech, para el desarrollo de un sofisticado sistema \u201canti-drone\u201d, que integra sensores, IA y drones \u201cdefensivos\u201d armados con redes de captura.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"text d1-article-content\">\n<p><strong>After an F-22 Raptor nearly collided <\/strong>with a cheap drone in 2017, the <span class=\"caps\">U.S.<\/span> Air Force\u2019s Air Combat Command received permission to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popularmechanics.com\/military\/aviation\/a27291\/air-force-down-drones-over-bases\/\">shoot down<\/a> unmanned flying objects that get too near its airbases. But shooting down drones over cities is a less-than-ideal solution to a growing problem. So the <span class=\"caps\">U.S.<\/span> military is trying a new tack: spending millions of dollars on defensive drones armed with\u00a0nets.<\/p>\n<p>The Defense Innovation Unit, or <span class=\"caps\">DIU<\/span>, is contracting with Utah-based Fortem Technologies for its <a href=\"https:\/\/fortemtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Close-the-Airspace-Defense-Gap.pdf\">SkyDome<\/a> anti-drone system, which marries net-armed drones called DroneHunters with a radar system dubbed TrueView. While other anti-drone systems look for the radio signals that connect drones to their operators \u2013 and then try to jam or home in on them \u2014 SkyDome can discard the assumption that an incoming drone is emitting anything at\u00a0all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very easy to program a drone to fly completely autonomously. It can be done with a commercial, off-the-shelf drone,\u201d Fortem\u2019s <span class=\"caps\">CTO<\/span> and co-founder Adam\u00a0Robertson.<\/p>\n<p>The SkyDome combines radar, sensors aboard the DroneHunters, and even other sensors. It\u2019s an ensemble approach that mimics, somewhat, the way an animal or human might hunt in the wild, using a variety of data sources to make targeting determinations. \u201cIt allows us to take from any source all of the intelligence that\u2019s available. We have ground-based radar systems that are excellent at detection,\u201d Robertson said. \u201cI have camera systems where I can use the radar to point a camera and look at\u00a0things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once the system detects something, SkyDome uses image recognition and <span class=\"caps\">AI<\/span> to classify the object and its intent. \u201cIs it a bird? Is it a drone? Is it a friendly drone or an unfriendly drone?\u201d Robertson said. \u201cIt\u00a0uses the intelligence gained from each of its sensors combined, much as your brain would, and makes a call and says, \u2018that\u2019s a\u00a0threat.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Launched automatically upon detection or at a human\u2019s command, the DroneHunter climbs to altitude and then uses onboard radar to track the enemy drone. Up in the air, there is very little to interfere with the DroneHunter\u2019s ability to lock on target. \u201cIt can see these drones from hundreds of meters away,\u201d said\u00a0Robertson.<\/p>\n<p>After snaring a drone in its net, the DroneHunter brings it back. Nabbing a drone out of the sky offers a few advantages over attempting to jam it or blowing it up. You avoid bringing laser-riddled drones crashing down on urban crowds. You don\u2019t foul up cellular communications networks. And you get more out of forensic analysis, which can show who launched the drone and from\u00a0where.<\/p>\n<p>Robertson said the <span class=\"caps\">DIU<\/span> contract was worth multiple millions of dollars, though he declined to specify further. <span class=\"caps\">DIU<\/span> did not immediately respond to request for comment. Several combatant commands are interested, Robertson\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Fuente:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defenseone.com\/technology\/2020\/02\/pentagon-spending-millions-dollars-hunter-drones-nets\/162835\/?oref=defenseone_today_nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>https:\/\/www.defenseone.com<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luego de un incidente en el que un drone comercial casi colisiona con un caza F22, la US Air Force solicit\u00f3 autorizaci\u00f3n para derribar amenazas&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5143,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[18,2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5142"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5142\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
