Passive Radar Observation and DeTECTion of UAVs via Cellular Networks – PROTECT’ Participating countries: Italy, Estonia, Pakistan PROTECT aims to develop techniques for identifying UAVs piloted via cellular networks. Two scenarios are considered throughout the project: cooperative and uncooperative networks. Through prototype develop - ment and real-world testing, the project aims to vali - date the effectiveness of the solutions in diverse op - erational environments. In the future this will open up the possibility to operate drones via the internet from anywhere in the world. Cellular networks offer wide coverage, high data transfer rates, and built-in secu - rity features that can enhance the communication link between the drone and the ground control station. New standards offering Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications may provide a path to widespread adoption of remotely controlled UAVs. For this reason, it is essential to develop solutions that are able to detect and identify malicious drones pilot - ed over cellular network (5G and beyond).
