Abstract

Završni se rad bavi korištenjem radarske tehnologije za otkrivanje, praćenje i klasifikaciju bespilotnih letjelica. Počinje s pregledom bespilotnih letjelica, njihovih upravljačkih sustava i zemaljskih stanica. Zatim istražuje osnove elektroničkog ratovanja, uključujući ciljeve, klasifikacije i elektromagnetsko okružje. Obrađuje osnove radarskih sustava, detaljno opisujući njihove komponente, operativne koncepte, principe, širenje signala i konfiguracije. Rad se bavi izazovima i prijetnjama koje predstavljaju zlonamjerne bespilotne letjelice, uključujući njihove autonomne sposobnosti te sposobnosti u obliku rojeva. Razmatraju se i vrste elektroničkih protumjera. Razmotrene su metode za aktivnu i pasivnu detekciju bespilotnih letjelica, obradu signala i korištenje konvencionalnih i naprednih radarskih sustava, zajedno s njihovim ograničenjima. Konačno, naglašava se budući smjer istraživanja u radarski temeljenoj i radio-frekvencijsko temeljenoj detekciji i klasifikaciji bespilotnih letjelica, s naglaskom na potencijal strojnog učenja za poboljšanje ovih procesa. Rad naglašava potrebu za sofisticiranim radarskim tehnologijama i inovativnim pristupima za učinkovito upravljanje rastućom prijetnjom bespilotnih letjelica.

Abstract (english)

The final paper deals with the use of radar technology for the detection, tracking, and classification of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It begins with an overview of UAVs, their control systems, and ground stations. It then explores the basics of electronic warfare, including its objectives, classifications, and the electromagnetic environment. The basics of radar systems are addressed, detailing their components, operating concepts, principles, signal propagation, and configurations. The paper discusses the challenges and threats posed by malicious UAVs, including their autonomous and swarm capabilities and types of electronic countermeasures. Methods for active and passive detection of UAVs, signal processing, and the use of conventional and advanced radar systems are examined, along with their limitations. Finally, future research directions in radar-based and radio frequency-based detection and classification of UAVs are highlighted, with an emphasis on the potential of machine learning to enhance these processes. The study underscores the need for sophisticated radar technologies and innovative approaches to effectively manage the growing threat of UAVs.
