Researchers at Rowan University, led by Dr. Huaxia Wang, are developing advanced drone detection systems to protect critical infrastructure such as power plants and sports stadiums. Traditional detection methods like radar are ineffective against small drones. The new system utilizes AI and wireless communication to capture radio frequency signals between drones and their operators, allowing for detection and localization. Wang's team is collecting data on various drone types to create a comprehensive dataset for further research. This dataset will be made available to other researchers to enhance drone defense technologies. The initiative is in collaboration with AeroDefense, a drone detection company, to commercialize the technology. The project aims to improve detection capabilities under diverse environmental conditions.
