Drug and weapon trafficking using drones has turned out to be a major issue which is being predicted to spread extensively in the next few years. Nowadays, drones can penetrate into private facility unnoticed by the security and cause tremendous disruption. That is why our team has developed EAGLE.ONE - an autonomous drone hunter carrying state-of-the-art technology designed to catch any rogue drones without destroying them. Captured drone is then able to be subjected for further analysis, which significantly increases the chances of the offender being caught.
Small UAVs are used for smuggling drugs into prisons due to their ability to remain undetected while crossing the border of the perimeter. Drug deliveries into prison facilities may cause a loss of control of the facility and endanger the lives of both the prisoners and the staff.
Trafficking weapons into prisons has become a great unspoken issue. We don't have to mention that a weapon in the hands of a prisoner is extremely undesirable.
In 2015, 65 g of Marihuana, 6.6 g of heroin and 144.5 g of tobacco were smuggled and dropped to the ground of Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections.
In 2017, a prisoner was captured with a shotgun, a semi-automatic pistol, 4 telephones and almost $50,000 in cash during his attempt to break out of a prison in South Carolina, USA. All these items were delivered to the prisoner by a drone.
In 2019, two drones flew over an Australian prison with abundant amount of methamphetamine which then ended up in a prisoners' hands. One of them ended up in a prison hospital due to an overdose.
fully autonomous
compatible with existing security systems
allowing forensic analysis on the captured subject
always in a stand-by mode waiting for the next mission
The compatibility with existing security systems makes our drone hunter easily integrable to an existing infrastructure.
After the drone hunter receives a signal from an external detection system, it autonomously takes off. The AI then takes the lead and flies towards the spot of intrusion. The drone hunter independently manoeuvres around any obstacles, detects the intruder and autonomously captures it.
The drone hunter uses non-destructive eliminating method which allows forensic analysis be performed on the captured subject which helps during investigation of the breach.
EAGLE.ONE is waiting in a stand-by mode, ready to start the next mission within five seconds from receiving a signal from the detection system.
The drone hunter is compatible with most of the existing security systems. Once connected to a detection system, the drone hunter is fully autonomous from the take-off to the landing.
The drone hunter can also be paired with our smartphone application. Trained personnel then have full control over the drone hunter.
Developed in co-operation with the Multi-Robot Systems Group at the Department of Cybernetics of the Czech Technical University in Prague. The project is a member of UAV Alliance for Unmanned Aviation Industry.
