Abstract: Drones that Hunt Drones with AI at the Edge
Commercial drones are ubiquitous, inexpensive, and highly capable. Like any other tool, drones can be used for good or bad. The ability to detect a drone, determine if it is a safety threat, and safely mitigate a threat is a complex system of systems problem requiring a challenging blend of technologies bridging multiple engineering disciplines, machine learning, and computational science. Success requires the navigation of the complexities of the physical airspace and a the regulatory landscape.
