Ericsson has unveiled its Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) System, which repurposes existing mobile network infrastructure to detect and track drones. This innovative approach leverages 5G technology to analyze radio signals reflecting off objects, allowing for the identification of drones even when they are not connected to the network.
The significance of this development lies in its potential to enhance security measures against small, low-flying drones that traditional systems struggle to detect. By utilizing a multi-static sensing method, the ISAC System can improve detection accuracy and provide precise 3D positioning of drones across various environments.
Ericsson's ISAC System has demonstrated reliable detection of micro drones at distances of up to kilometers during testing. The company aims to integrate this technology with existing infrastructure, enabling a new layer of aerial surveillance without the need for extensive new installations. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
