How Drone Detection Works: RF Sensors vs Radar vs Optical Systems (EO and IR)
05. 2. 2026Drones are small, fast, and often fly low, which makes detection harder than most people expect. This article explains the three main approaches to drone detection, RF detection, radar, and optical systems including EO and IR, what each does well, where it fails, and why real world protection usually relies on combining multiple sensors.
