Abstract


The paper considers a method for classifying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and birds based on radar measurements in various object movement scenarios. The relevance of the problem is explained by the complexity of UAV detection due to its small overall dimensions, high agility, and similar geometry to a bird. To solve the problem, a classification method based on the analysis of micro-Doppler signatures, which reflect the dynamics of object motion, is applied. The scenarios are modelled in the Engee environment, where models of radar system, UAV and birds are developed.
