Croatian researchers devise algorithm to locate intruder drone pilots

Author: Ivana Tomičić Šušak

ZAGREB, 29 Jan (Hina) - Croatian researchers, who are part of the research project "ORKAN - Framework for control and surveillance of unmanned aerial vehicles", have found an algorithmic solution for managing a constellation of drones that can locate the pilots of intruder unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

This is the main result of the ORKAN project. In addition to thirteen researchers from Croatia, the team also includes a foreign researcher from Iceland, while the team leader is professor and former dean of the Faculty of Organisation and Informatics (FOI) Neven Vrček , the FOI of the University of Zagreb said Monday.

Most of those researchers are from that Varaždin-based Faculty of Organisation and Informatics.

The research and development of the software took three years, and the last experiment was done in January in the area of ​​Donje Međimurje, northern Croatia, when the researchers managed to lift into the air a flock of drones enriched with devices designed at the FOI.

The devices can collect signals and measure their strength, which indicates the location of the pilot, who may also be an intruder, according to a press release.

The new algorithmic solution was presented as a platform for future scientific research, and was financed by the Croatian Science Foundation in the amount of €71,000, according to the press release.
