# Interceptor detection

When equipped with interceptor detection capabilities, the system can visually indicate potential airborne threats in the operator interface.

**Activating the Overlay**

* Open the **Eye icon** in the UI.
* Enable the **Interceptor** overlay to display detected entities.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Ensure the interceptor overlay is active during missions where airspace threats are expected.
{% endhint %}

### **Detections**

* **Neutral Entity:** If a detected object is **not moving toward the UAS**, it will appear as **neutral**.

→ No sensor coverage or threat sector will be shown.

* **Hostile Entity:** If the object **is on an intercept course** with the drone, it is flagged as **hostile**.

→ A **Threat Sector** will highlight the direction of approach.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Key terms**

**Threat Sector**: The directional cone indicating a detected hostile entity within the sensor coverage.

**Sensor Coverage Area**: The circular zone representing the drone’s or system’s active monitoring or detection range.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
The interceptor detection system is designed to detect interceptors within a range of **up to 20 meters**. Detection of objects beyond this range is possible **only if the targets are sufficiently large and have high contrast**, but the **success rate decreases significantly**.

Additionally, detection performance **under the drone** is reduced and is highly dependent on the surrounding environment, such as surface texture, lighting, and clutter.
