Paper Title
Drone Usage in Detecting and Intercepting Flying Objects
Abstract
Drones have become increasingly popular over the last few years. Their ever-decreasing size and cost have led to a proliferation of these devices in the market and in the sky. Unfortunately, some have been misused in restricted areas or for hostile purposes, prompting the development of specific unmanned aerial vehicles to detect and even destroy them in emergency situations. Most of these machines are big multirotor drones. However, the AGH Drone Engineering scientific circle has come up with a novel build approach. This paper presents a complete overview of the constructed vehicle - the “TurboJET” - a fixed-wing aircraft with jet propulsion. This design allows it to be much faster than a pursued object, which often uses electric propulsion. Another important feature is VTOL - vertical take-off and landing, which eliminates the need for a long runway.
