The UAVNeutralizer project focuses on the development and validation of an intelligent system for detecting, localising, and neutralising malicious UAVs to protect critical infrastructure.

The system combines:

• Distributed sensing technologies, including RF spectrum monitoring, wireless protocol detection, and radar

• Data fusion mechanisms to integrate heterogeneous sensor inputs

• Machine learning algorithms trained on real and simulated data to improve detection accuracy

• Automated decision-making for triggering neutralisation actions

• Electronic countermeasures, such as RF jamming, GPS spoofing, and protocol disruption

• Optimised deployment architecture, with sensors and transmitters positioned around protected infrastructure

  
  

The system is designed to operate as a centralised platform controlling a network of sensors and transmitters, enabling the creation of adaptive “no-fly zones” and the ability to respond to multiple UAV threats in real time. 

The project aims to deliver a TRL-5validated system, demonstrating performance in a real-world environment.
