DronEnd: An SDR-based Drone Defense System for Securing No-Fly Zones
As small, cost-effective drones grow in popularity, they bring potential security risks, especially when misused in sensitive areas. The DronEnd project was delivered together with UPB Bucharest and aimed to address these challenges by developing a robust drone defense system leveraging software defined radio (SDR). This system, comprising both GROUND and FLYING platforms, is designed to detect, track, and neutralize intrusive drones. Using advanced spectrum sensing algorithms and angle of arrival (AoA) techniques, DronEnd not only identifies drone RF signals but also pinpoints their direction. Through targeted RF jamming, it disrupts the drone's control and GPS signals, taking over its operation and initiating pre-defined safety measures, all while minimizing interference through directional antennas.
Cybersecurity solution based on machine learning
The general objective of this project is to develop an innovative product, to develop a proof-of-concept hardware and software implementation of machine learning algorithms in a network intrusion detection system (NID), which could detect various attacks such as Bot, XSS, DoS, DDoS, FTP-Bruteforce, SSHBruteforce, SQL injection, Infiltration and also classify them accordingly into classes (multi-class classification) for companies to manage human resources and management activities.
The general objective is closely related to the specific objective related to the "Operational Regional Program (POR) 2014-2020, priority axis 1.2: Promoting technology transfer, namely Increasing innovation in companies by supporting multisectoral approaches resulting from the implementation of the “Less Developed Regions Initiative” in Romania."
