Counter drone system

1. A system for countering a threat drone, comprising:

a plurality of sensor systems, wherein a sensor system of the plurality of sensor systems comprises one or more sensors that are connected to a network;

a counter drone, wherein the counter drone is connected to the network; and

a processor configured to:

receive an indication of a potential target from the plurality of sensor systems;

generate a fused data set of the potential target, wherein the fused data set comprises the indication of the potential target and one or more of: another indication of the potential target, a raw sensor information, and/or a derived sensor information, wherein generating the fused data set comprises determining that the one or more of the another indication of the potential target, the raw sensor information, and/or the derived sensor information are all associated with the potential target and combining the one or more of the another indication of the potential target, the raw sensor information, and/or the derived sensor information;

determine that the potential target comprises the threat drone based at least in part on the fused data set, comprising:

determine that a characteristic of the potential target is within a range, is within a geofenced area, or has a trajectory that will take it within a radius of a geofenced area; and

in response to determining that the potential target comprises the threat drone, provide counter drone instructions to the counter drone, comprising:

determine a payload type based on a strategy to address the threat drone;

determine counter drone candidates based on the payload type;

determine flight paths of the counter drone candidates;

rank probabilities of threat drone interception of the counter drone candidates based on the determined flight paths;

select intercept drones of the counter drone candidates based on the ranked probabilities; and

provide the counter drone instructions to the selected intercept drones.
