Turkish drones may often violate Greek airspace but a new system that will take them out of service is almost ready.
The much-advertised Turkish drones are by no means invulnerable, and, as it has been proven, they can very easily be blinded or misled by smart - and cheap - electronic countermeasures.
The National Centre for Research and Technological Development (EKETA/IPTHIL) is already at the stage of final tests for the first Greek anti-drone platform.
The research team is ready to move to the stage of final tests in real conditions, while EKETA is in discussions with private companies regarding its eventual commercial exploitation.
It is a comprehensive solution to the growing problem of UAV threats, building on a state-of-the-art system and enhancing it with research into various detection and neutralisation technologies and functions.
Thus, they developed deep learning methodologies and various types of integrated sensors to implement the first integrated platform of Greek design for detecting, identifying, localising, and neutralising unauthorised and potentially hostile UAV's.
The system even participated in the data competition organised by the NATO Information and Communications Agency, ran from February to May 2021. It won first place by proposing a tracker based on Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies.
The tracker's innovative tracking method is based on the correlation and fusion of data from multiple sensors.
Today, EKETA is in the phase of perfecting the anti-drone system in terms of the different sensors used (radar, thermal and optical cameras, microphones, radio wave detectors) and the algorithms developed.
Now, the research team ready to pass and at the stage of its final tests in real conditions, News Auto reported.
