The usage of drones is steadily increasing as drones are becoming more available and useful to the general public, but drone usage also leads to problems as for example airports have had to shutdown due to drone sightings. It has become clear that a counter-drone system must be in place to neutralize intruding drones. However, neutralizing a drone is not an easy task, the risk of causing collateral damage and interfering with other radio systems must be highly considered when designing a counter-drone system. In this thesis a set of consumer drones was selected based on market popularity. By studying the wireless communication links of the selected drones a set of drone neutralization methods was identified. For each neutralization method a set of jamming and spoofing techniques was selected from current research. The techniques was used in practise by subjecting the drones to the techniques in a series of drone behaviour experiments. The results was used to evaluate the techniques in four criteria based on avoiding collateral damage, mitigating radio interference, identification requirement and handling multiple intruding drones. The evaluation was then summarized to discuss suitable drone neutralization methods and jamming & spoofing techniques. The results showed that there are neutralization methods that could potentially avoid causing col- lateral damage for certain drones. A full-band barrage jamming technique was shown to best the best performing based on the evaluation criteria, but was also the technique that theoretically induced the most radio interference. Furthermore, drones operating in way-point mode can only be neutralized using a GNSS jamming or spoofing neutralization method. Also using a GPS spoofing neutralization method was shown to be difficult to implement in practise. / Populariteten av att flyga drönare ökar stadigt i och med att drönartekniken blir mer tillgänglig och an- vändbart för allmänheten. Men användningen av drönare leder också till problem när till exempel flyg- platser har varit tvungna att stänga av på grund av drönar observationer. Det har blivit tydligt att ett anti-drönarsystem måste vara på plats för att neutralisera inkräktande drönare. Men att neutralisera en drönare är inte en enkel uppgift, risken för att orsaka sido-skador på personer, byggander eller objekt; eller störa andra radiosystem måste beaktas starkt när man utformar ett anti-drönarsystem. I detta examensarbete valdes en uppsättning konsumentdrönare ut baserat på marknadens popularitet. Genom att studera de trådlösa kommunikationslänkarna för de valda drönarna identifierades en uppsättning av drönar-neutraliseringsmetoder. För varje neutraliseringsmetod valdes en uppsättning av störnings- och spoofing-tekniker ut från aktuell forskning. Teknikerna användes i praktiken genom att utsätta drönarna för teknikerna i en serie drönar-beteendeexperiment. Resultaten användes sedan för att utvärdera teknikerna i fyra utvärderingskriterier baserade på att undvika sido-skador, mildra radiostörningar, identifieringsbehov och hantering av flera inkräktande drönare. Utvärderingen sammanfattades sedan för att diskutera lämpliga drönar-neutraliseringsmetoder och störnings- spoofing-tekniker. Resultaten visade att det finns neutraliseringsmetoder som potentiellt kan undvika att orsaka sido- skador eller radio-störningar för vissa typer av drönare. En full-bands störningsteknik visade sig vara bäst presterande baserat på utvärderingskriterierna, men var också den teknik som teoretiskt inducerade mest radiostörningar. Dessutom visades det att drönare som flyger i navigeringsläge endast kan neutraliseras med hjälp av en GNSS-störnings- eller spoofing metoder. Att använda en GPS-spoofing metod visade sig också vara svår att implementera i praktiken.

<div>Counter Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) development and fielding has greatly accelerated over the last several years to protect against all classes of Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) threats. Integration of the detection and tracking systems, the engagement systems, and other portions of the kill chain including command and control (C2) is ongoing. A significant concern is that the majority of these developments are designed for defending ships at sea. Most of these technological advances cannot be used within restricted waters or in port, foreign or domestic, due to the potential of high collateral damages and the fact that they are not currently readily available for dissemination to the Fleet.</div><div>The problem addressed by this project is to determine how to defend high value units from the threat of weaponized UAVs while moored pier-side with currently in-place weapons systems. This study will take a parameter-driven approach based on existing technologies to determine if an enhanced fire-control system integrated with standard issue weaponry can increase watchstander accuracy required to safely defend a high value unit pierside.</div>
