Method and apparatus for repelling a detectable drone
Some embodiments relate to a method for repelling a detectable drone, whose flight control and/or whose drone flight path can be influenced by repulsion measures, wherein a repulsion space is defined as a part of the airspace, and wherein the flight control and/or the drone flight path of a drone located in the repulsion space is influenced.
1. A method for repelling a detectable drone whose flight control and whose drone flight path is configured to be influenced by repulsion measures, the method comprising:
defining a repulsion zone as a part of the airspace in the surroundings of a flying object located in the airspace and which is to be protected from the drone; and
influencing the flight control and/or the flight path of a drone located in the repulsion space by at least one repulsion measure.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further including:
defining the repulsion zone as a partial region of the airspace around the flying object that is to be protected from the drone.
3. The method according to claim 1 , further including:
defining the repulsion zone as a partial region of the airspace including the flight path of the flying object that is to be protected from the drone.
4. The method according to claim 1 , further including:
detecting the drone flight path of the drone; and,
selecting the repulsion measure depending on the drone flight path.
5. The method according to claim 1 , further including:
selecting the repulsion measure depending on a position of the drone with respect to the repulsion zone or to the flying object.
6. The method according to claim 1 , further including
capturing the effect of the repulsion measure on the drone flight path.
7. The method according to claim 1 , further including
outputting a signal by the flying object on the detection of a drone in the repulsion zone.
8. An apparatus for carrying out the method according to claim 1 , the apparatus being configured to be arranged in a flying object located in the airspace and which is to be protected from a detectable drone whose flight control and/or whose drone flight path is configured to be influenced by repulsion measures, the apparatus comprising:
a module for definition of the repulsion zone,
a module for detection of a drone, and
a module for carrying out the repulsion measure.
9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , further including:
a module for the definition of the flight path.
10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , further including:
a module for the identification of a drone and, if relevant, a database.
11. The apparatus according to claim 8 , further including:
a control module for controlling at least one of the defining and influencing steps.
12. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein:
the module for carrying out the repulsion measure is suitable for outputting an interfering signal.
13. The apparatus according to claim 8 , further including:
an interface to the flying object control of the flying object.
14. The apparatus according to claim 8 , further including:
a module for control of the repulsion measure by a user.
