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.

Ensure the interceptor overlay is active during missions where airspace threats are expected.

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.

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.

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.
