dc.description.abstract
This paper presents the system and control design, as well as the experimental evaluation of a robotic telescope-based Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) detection and tracking system. The system is evaluated in a laboratory environment and during field tests in rural areas. The prototype consists of a dual-axis direct drive telescope mount, two telescopes with cameras, and an additional camera equipped with a commercial lens for very short distances. The system is mounted on a tripod for deployable operation. The implemented control of the proposed system allows tracking of small UAVs with velocities up to 250 km / h over distances ranging from 100 m to 5 km, which is validated in a laboratory environment. During field tests in rural areas successful tracking of a UAV with a maximum flying speed of 75.6 km / h over distances from 20 m to 4 km during several dynamic flights has been demonstrated.
