Have you explored PandwaRF? " is a family of pocket-sized, portable RF analysis tools operating the sub-1 GHz range. It allows the capture, analysis and re-transmission of RF via an Android device or a Linux PC. Practically, it removes the ‘standard SDR Grind’ of capturing, demodulating, analyzing, modifying and replaying by hand - replacing it with a simple but powerful interface."

Drone motors operate at high frequencies due to the need for small size combined with high output. Typical frequencies include 3,000-5,000 Hz, but there are plenty of high-performing models operating at up to 10,000 Hz. Any thoughts on the signature from the actual motors, is the electrical emf significant or not? Thanks

That’s a good question that I do not have an answer to. If it was detectable, I wonder at what range? At some point I figure there’s going to have to be computer vision detection/visual confirmation in the loop.

Can't they just use proprietary network protocols to bypass this? Why use standardized tech if you're using drones for warfare... makes more sense to just create your own.
@cemaxecuter7783Күн бұрын
Not sure who you mean by they? For FAA remote ID it’s a standard and required by law - it’s the nature of the design. As far as video feeds, that’s something that’ll hopefully be handled by the SDR. In terms of warfare, I can’t speak to what all is present there. Obviously things such as Remote ID wouldn’t be turned on, unless someone’s really wanting to have a bad day.
@mrmeow1Күн бұрын
Is there some special reason you selected remote ID. I just bring it up since there is a lot of clever open-source code for manipulating remote ID, such as spoofing it. Kevin Finisterre did the original exploitation. I think in 2017. There was an open-source system floating around in 2008 that had nice features around tracking people of interest and pulling and associating other data to it, like social media and geolocating. At a later time, exploitation was added but that does not seem like something your trying to do. Alo. Also, what antennae are you using? 1 to 2 km in an urban area is really good. In a more open area, it's okay, depending on your build. If you have time, consider fingerprinting. It's helpful to track phones over days, weeks, and months. Grab the low and high-level features of the signal, and you can do some sophisticated analysis. Also, I hope you have checked the laws and then become extremely conservative about doing any public collection.
@cemaxecuter7783Күн бұрын
Remote ID is detectable and decodable and while it can be spoofed, looking at it over time would surely weed out a simple spoof that’s static/stationary and has no changes in RSSI/power. I’d like to layer it with other techniques such as the video link detection that’d be harder to spoof. Currently not aiming for exploitation, but rather a system capable of providing SA for drones and other EM activities. Someone in Europe reported they detected the RID off a DJI at 6km with LNA/BPF added. The stock antennas are 8dBi. I’m not certain there’s an issue detecting and decoding RID as theres various APP and hardware offerings ranging from cheap to extremely expensive. I’m trying to hit a low to middle ground while also offering the flexibility of open source that people can do as they please with. Soon I’ll have a Java based tool that’ll handle things much more elegantly.

I was talking about this exact subject several days ago and was hoping you'd chime in. How about a drone with an onboard SDR, directional antenna(s) and a downlink (900 Mhz ISM?) to the drone operator to direction find the rogue drone operator's uplink to their drone and track it back to the rogue operator? No decoding necessary just DF tracking. Even better if the drone would auto track, follow and report. BTW your audio is popping on the "Ps" maybe overdriving the ADC or maybe need a pop filter for your mic. One thing I have not thought of a solution for is tracking Combat drones that are programmed with target GPS co-ordinates and no RF link to or from an operator..... any ideas? I wonder if GPS receivers used in a drone would have any IF signal leakage that could be tracked... but if the GPS receiver is direct conversion that would not work... I'm not even close to being at your level of coding... my background is in RF and IT. I do appreciate your excellent work on DragonOS... I have been installing it on Ham friend's computers. All but 1 of my computers are running Linux OS including DragonOS on several. Great work as usual. Keep at it!

Thanks for the responds and feedback! Been trying so hard to pull together a drone with equipment on it (SDRs, PIs, Jetson, etc) just been taking so much longer then I originally thought as I teamed up with someone to handle that part. In fact, another person is making a gimbal mount that will spin and aim a directional antenna towards the video links! As for the popping, I wonder if that’s the same popping I tried to selectively edit out quickly, it was so annoying. Sounded like I was doing something with my lips or popping gum. I have a super cheap headset so maybe all I need is this filter you’re saying. Probably about time I invest in a decent headset. Thanks for the motivation.

@@cemaxecuter7783 there is a project that I've seen IIRC on The Thought Emporium channel that visually depicts WiFi/2.4 Ghz signals and strength.... the display looks like a thermal camera. Combine that with camera/Gimbal azimuth/elevation and GPS...? Not the software app "WiFi Radar"... this was a hardware project. I'm looking for the video now.... Edit: upon further thought it seems there would be some difficulty with my idea because of all the WiFi signals as background noise... maybe AI to identify the target signal based on collected/observed parameters then track it. It would be ideal if the observation drone could lock onto the target drone or targt drone operation site and track/follow it.
