Detection comes first
Radar watches the sky for anything that flies, while passive RF listens for the radio links drones use. Neither alone is enough: radar sees silent autonomous drones, RF classifies and locates pilots.
Identification protects against mistakes
Cameras and signal classification separate drones from birds, aircraft, and friendly UAVs so operators act on confirmed targets only.
Tracking turns alarms into a picture
A command platform fuses sensors into one track list with zones, whitelists, and an evidence log.
Defeat is a legal decision as much as a technical one
Jamming, GNSS deception, and net capture each fit different sites and jurisdictions; the system should support operator confirmation before any effector fires.
