That is why various manufacturers have developed different drone detection systems that promise protection against uncooperative drones: If it is possible to detect drones in the vicinity of airports early and reliably, the danger can be greatly reduced. </p><p class="paragraph">Drone detection at airports is not an easy task, however. The technology must function reliably, because that is the basis for air traffic controllers to initiate appropriate safety measures and for police authorities to defend against such drones.</p><p class="paragraph"><br/></p><p class="paragraph"><br/></p></div></div></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-6 large-1 layout-column show-for-large"><div class="main-column__wrapper"><div class="column__content-wrapper main-column__content-wrapper "></div></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-6 large-5 main-column"><div class="main-column__wrapper"><div class="column__content-wrapper main-column__content-wrapper "><div class="id-content-second-column id-content"><div class="i4-img-container i4-align-fullwidth i4-nofloat"><img data-src="https://www.dfs.de/homepage/de/drohnenflug/antraege-und-genehmigungen/shutterstock-1482715007.png?resize=8fc36e:352,285,1298,992_480x367c&cid=cs7.xtg" data-ng-non-bindable="" data-lazy-mode="on-visible" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAAECAIAAAAmkwkpAAAAP0lEQVR4XgE0AMv/AFyq/mKt/mSu/mOu/gCGte1/vf6Cvv6Bvv4Am8PslsPxlb3llMX0AKrK5bTW87za9LrW6n6RJAB8xzzHAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC" alt="" data-srcset="https://www.dfs.de/homepage/de/drohnenflug/antraege-und-genehmigungen/shutterstock-1482715007.png?cid=cs7.xtg&resize=97b930:352,285,1298,992_960x734c 960w, https://www.dfs.de/homepage/de/drohnenflug/antraege-und-genehmigungen/shutterstock-1482715007.png?cid=cs7.xtg&resize=8b9bc8:352,285,1298,992_720x550c 720w, https://www.dfs.de/homepage/de/drohnenflug/antraege-und-genehmigungen/shutterstock-1482715007.png?cid=cs7.xtg&resize=8fc36e:352,285,1298,992_480x367c 480w" data-sizes="(min-width: 1200px) 480px, (min-width: 768px) 476px, (min-width: 320px) 480px, 480px" class="i4-img-flexheight" data-i4-img-caption=""/><div class="i4-img-copyright-wrapper"><div class="i4-img-copyright">© Shutterstock</div></div></div><p class="paragraph"><br/></p></div></div></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-6 large-1 layout-column show-for-large"><div class="main-column__wrapper"><div class="column__content-wrapper main-column__content-wrapper "></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="row-instance"><div data-component="3956ad99-52b4-4410-a242-b943de5ef8aa.gridBuilder:content-8-centered" data-component-name="common.common.layout.metropolis.framework.meta:gridBuilder:content-8-centered" data-component-chooserId="content:document" data-component-label="One column zentriert: 66%" data-component-path="28333/content/repeat/item[2]/component" class="component component-gridBuilder component-gridBuilder-content-8-centered"><div class="main-row "><div class="row align-center"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 main-column big-column-standalone"><div class="main-column__wrapper"><div class="column__content-wrapper main-column__content-wrapper "><div class="id-content-first-column id-content"><div class="xhtmlcomponent component-video"><a data-providername="localVideo" href="#video-player-ecaa9df9" data-open-in-fancybox="true" class="video-outer has-placeholder "><div class="video-inner"><img data-src="https://www.dfs.de/homepage/de/medien/fotos-und-filme/videos/dds-123.png?cid=cdj.1m2k" data-ng-non-bindable="" data-lazy-mode="on-visible" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAAECAIAAAAmkwkpAAAAPUlEQVR4XmOom7ywceqiiv7ZpT0zGPIbuwvaJxd1Ti7tnsIQlxEfkRLlGerlFe7HkJLnmJrvmJxrn5BtDwBinhUgYDnziAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==" alt="thumbnail to film drone detection" data-srcset="https://www.dfs.de/homepage/de/medien/fotos-und-filme/videos/dds-123.png?cid=cdj.1m2k 1920w" title="thumbnail to film drone detection" data-sizes="(min-width: 3000px) 2540px, (min-width: 1600px) 1260px, (min-width: 1440px) 1046px, (min-width: 1200px) 939px, (min-width: 768px) 971px, (min-width: 640px) 748px, (min-width: 480px) 640px, (min-width: 320px) 480px, 100vw" class="video-placeholder" data-resize-mode="layout"/></div></a><div data-providername="localVideo" data-thumbnail-url-with-play-button="" data-video-url="https://www.dfs.de/homepage/de/medien/fotos-und-filme/videos/dfs-dds-de-long-subtitle-en-201030-1080p.mp4?cid=csy" data-startautomatically="false" data-video-title="" style="display:none;

The objective was to find out what the detection technology currently available on the market could do. These<br/>capabilities were largely unknown until then. </p><p class="paragraph">The detection systems already in use at various airports have mostly evolved from military applications and proved to be ineffective and not very reliable in the tests. This reflects the enormous demands placed on the performance of these systems in the airport environment. Different topographies, building structures and surrounding vegetation make each airport unique. In addition, the detection systems must be able to distinguish drones from other moving objects at airports, for example vehicles, birds or helicopters. The systems must also be able to distinguish between a wide range of drones, which are available on the market in all shapes and sizes. </p><p class="paragraph">Radar, radio, acoustic and camera sensors were used for drone detection. A significant result of the test project was that there is no universal solution that can be implemented uniformly at all airports. The solution could be a mix of different sensor technologies, each technology's individual strengths offsetting the weaknesses of the others. The detailed results were sent to the German Ministry of Transport.<br/></p><p class="paragraph"><br/></p><p class="paragraph"><br/></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div> </main>
