Directional Radio Perimeter Security Against Drone Intrusion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Drones pose a privacy and security threat by flying into unauthorized or undesired areas, capturing video data, and invading homeowners' privacy, necessitating a security system to inhibit their operation or flight within a defined perimeter.
Innovation Solution
A security system comprising a controller and a wire member with transmitters that emit directional radio waves to interfere with drone frequencies, inhibiting their operation or flight, deployable around single-family homes and multi-story buildings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If transmitters emit radio waves to interfere with drone frequencies, then drone operation is inhibited, but electromagnetic interference with other devices may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system directs radio frequency energy in specific directional beams targeted at drone locations rather than omnidirectional transmission, concentrating the anti-drone effect where needed while minimizing interference with other devices in different directions
Solution Approach 2:
The controller receives signals from detectors about drone presence and adjusts transmitter activation accordingly, creating a closed-loop system that activates interference only when drones are detected, reducing unnecessary electromagnetic interference with other devices
2Reliability
If multiple transmitters are deployed around a perimeter, then drone intrusion prevention is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The perimeter is divided into multiple zones with individual transmitters and detectors, allowing the system to cover large areas by breaking down the overall security task into manageable segments that can be independently controlled and activated
Solution Approach 2:
The controller is designed to manage multiple transmitters and detectors through a single unified interface, allowing one controller to perform multiple functions of coordinating different perimeter zones, reducing the need for separate control systems for each transmitter

AI summary
A security system that is configured to be deployed around a structure wherein the security system provides broadcast of a radio wave signal so as to inhibit flying or operational interference of drones within a perimeter defined by the present invention. The present invention includes a controller wherein the controller has the necessary electronics to receive, store, transmit and manipulate data. In one application of the present invention the controller has operably coupled thereto a wire member wherein the wire member is deployed to define a perimeter around a structure. The wire member has operably coupled thereto a multitude of transmitters. The transmitters are configured to provide a directional radio wave transmission in an upwards direction from the wire member. An alternate application of the present invention deploys the controller and at least one transmitter adjacent a window of a multi-story building emitting a directional signal outward from the building.
