Abstract:Purpose
Small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) are becoming increasingly popular among hobbyists, and with this popularity there comes the risk of runway incursion between a commercial aircraft and sUAS around airports. To keep airports safe and secure, the purpose of this paper is to propose a module, called the Airport Secure Perimeter Control System, that can be attached to every hobbyist’s sUAS for the purpose of notification and prevention.

“…Security management remains a critical issue. Invasion (intentional or not) of sensitive airspaces, like airports ( Boselli et al, 2017 ) and power stations ( Solodov et al, 2018 ) have the potential to and do cause costly disruption (e.g. the near-total closure of Gatwick Airport and disruption to fire and emergency services work in Tasmania in 2018).…”

“…An Internet-of-Drones ( Edwin et al, 2019 ) is a very potential future. Research into the use of flying ad-hoc networks to monitor and manage deviant drone behaviour ( Bahloul et al, 2017 ; Barka et al, 2018 , Karthikeyan and Vadivel, 2019) are in progress, as are geofencing ( Boselli et al, 2017 ) and signal jamming ( Chowdhury et al, 2017 ) that act on the navigation systems within drones to prevent drone incursion into restricted areas. Though to implement some of these preventative technologies, it is, of course, necessary that the relevant drones have navigation technologies installed to be acted upon by the countermeasures, which for a substantial number of retail drones is not the case.…”

Commercial and private deployment of airborne drones is revolutionising many ecosystems. To identify critical issues and research gaps, our systematic literature review findings suggest that historic issues such as privacy, acceptance and security are increasingly replaced by operational considerations including interaction with and impacts on other airspace users. Recent incidents show that unrestricted drone use can inflict problems on other airspace users like airports and emergency services. Our review of current regulatory approaches shows a need for further policy and management response to both manage rapid and efficient drone usage growth, and facilitate innovation (e.g. intraurban package delivery), with one promising strategic response being low altitude airspace management (LAAM) systems for all drone use cases.

“…However, direct utilization of a GPS receiver in an SAA system has also been proposed. Boselli et al 61 designed and prototyped a geo-fencing system based on a GPS module, which protects airport area against sUAS. When the vehicle breaches critical zone around the airport the sUAS automatically lands in a controlled manner.…”
In this study, we discuss recent advances and state-of-the-art sense-and-avoid solutions for small unmanned aircraft systems. The purpose of this paper is to equip the reader with the most up-to-date information on research and commercial efforts aimed at introducing autonomous small unmanned aircraft systems into the shared airspace. We present a broad overview of the regulatory environment, current abilities, and limitations of various sensor types as well as algorithmic and computational aspects of establishing a reliable sense-and-avoid platform. This paper reviews a substantial portion of the literature, focusing on developing reliable sense-and-avoid systems. It brings together information from various sources, including commercial drone and sensor manufacturers, regulatory agencies, as well as basic research performed in this regard. While academic and industrial research activities aimed at developing an effective sense-and-avoid system for small unmanned aircraft systems are intensifying, the current technology does not yet allow for a comprehensive solution that would enable autonomous flight. However, recent advances in hardware miniaturization, increases in computational power, and new algorithmic solutions allow us to remain optimistic about future developments.
