DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The present disclosure generally relates to an apparatus, system and method of jamming unmanned aerial vehicles. As described herein, the present disclosure will be described based on examples with reference to the drawings, but the present disclosure is not to be considered limited to the examples, and various numerical values and materials in the examples are considered by way of example.

[0039] Jamming a device can include disrupting signal communication, blocking signal communication, or altering signal communication or any combination thereof. Unmanned aerial vehicles such as drones, especially hobbyist drones are continually becoming available both for industrial uses and for hobbyists. These drones are commonly equipped with cameras or other sensory devices. This poses a significant drawback regarding privacy and the inability of people to keep these drones from invading their privacy. Current drones jamming solutions lack the ability to continuously monitor an area and detect drones, and current drone jammers lack the ability to withstand adverse conditions or environments. Furthermore, current drones jamming solutions are hard manner and lack the ability to intelligently jam drones in a selective or soft manner. For example, the current solutions often jam drones in hard manner by shutting them down or forcing them to land immediately when the drones approach certain areas. Current solutions also jam neighboring signals such as Wi-Fi or GPS. Additionally, current devices and methods are incompatible with RF jamming extension modules.

[0040] The present disclosure provides a technology and solution to solve the problems as described herein. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, an apparatus, a method, and a system for smart and soft jamming of unmanned aerial vehicles such as drones are provided. Smart and soft jamming may include performing certain processes to allow the drones to go back to their initial positions without immediately falling down or being shut down when the drones approach to certain areas.

[0041] Referring to FIG. 1, an apparatus 100 configured to jam an unmanned aerial vehicle is illustrated according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The apparatus 100 includes an antenna 101, a housing 102, a circuitry board provided inside the housing 102 and a cable 103. The antenna 101 may include monopole, dipole or multiple dipole antennas to have desired coverage. In an embodiment, the apparatus 100 is equipped with two-directional 9dBi antennas, one of which covers a 2.4 GHz band and the other of which covers a 5 GHz band. In another embodiment, the apparatus 100 may be equipped with multidirectional panel antennas in order to maximize detection and coverage. The cable 103 is configured to connect with power source or exchange data information with external devices or both.

[0042] The apparatus 100 has high efficiency and longevity, and is configured to withstand extreme conditions such as heat, moisture, and severe weather. The housing 102 of the apparatus 100 may include resin, mica material or thermal insulating material or electric insulating material, or any combination thereof. In certain embodiments, the housing 102 may not include metals, such as aluminum or steel, in order to avoid undesirable factors such as electromagnetism and heavy weight.

[0043] Referring to FIG. 2, an upper portion of an apparatus configured to jam an unmanned aerial vehicle is illustrated according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. A housing (cover) 201 may have a hard surface with a turtle shell shape. The housing 201 may also include at least a gasket 202 to ensure a tight seal to prevent water leakage. The housing 201 may also have screw holes 203 to affix the upper portion to a lower portion of the apparatus.

[0044] Referring to FIG. 3, a circuitry board of an apparatus configured to jam an unmanned aerial vehicle is illustrated according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The circuitry board may include a controller 1, a power supply circuit 2, a wireless communication chipset 10, a scan and detection circuit and a jamming circuit according to an embodiment. The circuitry board may include other circuitries or units according to another embodiment. The controller 1 may include a processor such as an L 106 pProcessor. The power supply circuit 2 may supply power to the circuitry board and the apparatus. The wireless communication chipset 10 may include a Wi-Fi chipset. The wireless communication chipset is characterized by a high gain, long-range, compatible with IEEE 802.11 IEEE 802.11h, 802.l lb/g/n wireless standards, and is configured to link with an extension antenna. The wireless communication chipset is configured to be operated in lower layers and to do packet sniffing, packet injection, packet creation, or monitoring switching mode, or any combination thereof. The wireless communication chipset is configured to raise jamming level from physical layers to protocol layers. The wireless communication chipset is configured to be combined with an analyzing software.

[0045] The apparatus is configured to perform non-stop scanning, analyzing, and comparing of the manufacture signature of neighboring devices to the IEEE drone manufacture database by Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID). The BSSID is a unique ID for each drone. The detection of the drone is confirmed by the apparatus only when the BSSIDs match according to an embodiment. This helps to significantly reduce false detection. The apparatus is also configured to keep tracking the drones even if the drones perform channel-hopping.

[0046] According to an embodiment, an apparatus can be configured such that it does not make use of multiple sensors such as microphones or cameras to detect the presence of a drone or drones. Instead, the apparatus may perform habitual scanning or permanent scanning of a predetermined area through a Wi-Fi chipset and software. This combination gives the apparatus the advantage of the ability to retrieve all needed data based on identifiers such as signature codes such as BSSID and filter for the presence of a drone or drones.

[0047] According to an embodiment, an apparatus can include a modular design such that it is compatible with other Radio Frequency (RF) technologies. Each part of the apparatus is considered as a module. Thus, the apparatus can be designed to suit specific needs.

[0048] Referring to FIG. 4, a work principle of a method of jamming an unmanned aerial vehicle is illustrated according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The apparatus is configured to selectively soft jam a drone. The method includes continuously monitoring a geographical area to detect the presence of a drone. The method includes a use of a special script to detect and track a drone. The method includes opening a drone encryption or taking advantage of an open drone encryption to selectively stop video recording. The method may include completely jamming a drone in a scenario that the link is protected. The drone can be considered as an access point. One method of disabling the drone includes a denial of service attack.

[0049] The work principle as illustrated in FIG. 4 relies on the 802.11 wireless standard according to an embodiment. The drone is considered as an access point. The apparatus is configured to get access to the drone by the same way as the hacking method used on other Wi-Fi devices. For example, when the drone enters the home set area by the user, a notification is immediately sent to the user’s mobile device though based on special software. The apparatus will read in the subtype bits of the protocol layers, and will inject a new subtype bits code to simulate a signal loss with the remote control, once there, the drone will automatically return back to its initial position based on GPS initial record or perform a safe landing.

[0050] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the apparatus is configured to set up priorities. For example, the apparatus is configured to stop the drone’s video recording function as soon as the drone is detected. This includes an exploited vulnerability in the drone Operating System block. However, if a delay of this action is too long (less than a second), the apparatus is configured to immediately start the jamming process.

[0051] Referring to FIG. 5, a de-authentication process is illustrated according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The de-authentication attack works by exploiting an old and known vulnerability in the 802.11 Wi-Fi protocol because these de-authentication frames, usually used to close a Wi-Fi connection safely, are unencrypted. For example, a drone jamming module of the apparatus is configured to initiate a de-authentication request to the drone, and the drone will de- authenticate the communication between a drone controlling module of a remote controller and the drone.

[0052] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a jamming process includes sending a specific packet flag such as Announcement Traffic Indication Message (AΉM) coded 1001, and probe response coded 0101 to the drone. The specific packet flag is a type of management frame according to an embodiment. The specific packet can be used to safely close the connection between a remote controller of the drone and the drone. The specific packet is still effective and efficient when the drone does channel hopping. Channel hopping is a method that prevents the drone from jamming. In general, channel hopping allows the drone to jump randomly between frequency channels to avoid jamming, and the channel hopping operation is performed so quickly that it fails most of the available jammers in the market. However, our apparatus for jamming the drone is configured to send the specific packet flag that is so effective and efficient to prevent channel hopping. For example, it will first read the frequency of the drone and lock the drone, and hence the drone will not be able to perform the channel hopping operation anymore. Right after locking the drone, the apparatus will sent a code to disorient the drone, and move it away or make it perform a safe landing.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a jamming process performs in a soft manner or includes a soft jamming. The jamming process does not interfere with the drone’s GPS, the drone will be forced to return back to its initial position and this can also guide us to identify the drone’s remote controller. The apparatus or system is able to estimate the location of the drone remote control in a cast that the drone has been detected. Once the drone is detected by the apparatus (the drone jammer), the apparatus will only target the communication between the drone and the remote controller. Thus, the apparatus does not interfere with other neighboring devices.

[0054] According to an embodiment, a scanning and detection portion of the apparatus or the system is as important as the jamming portion of the apparatus or the system. By using the BSSID approach, combined with an accurate wireless propagation model, the apparatus is configured to perform smart and selective jamming.

[0055] According to an embodiment, the method for smart and soft jamming a drone can be used on one or more drones. The method can use an omnidirectional antenna to ensure 360 degree coverage. The apparatus may use a propagation model to correlate between distance and power of signal as illustrated in FIG. 6A. The distance may be selected by the end user. The apparatus can use at least two parameters: the radius of the geographical area to be detected and the angle of vision of the drone. FIG. 6B illustrates such a system. The angle of vision is an added value that increases the range of protection. This will help jam against drones which are capable of recording video from great distances.

[0056] Referring to FIG. 7, a system configured to jam an unmanned aerial vehicle is illustrated according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The system 300 includes an apparatus 311 and a wireless device 312. The apparatus 311 is configured to jam an object 313 such as an unmanned aerial vehicle. In one embodiment, the apparatus 311 includes a processor 301, a power supply circuit 302, a memory 303, an antenna 304, a wireless communication chipset 305, a jamming circuit 306, and a scan and detection circuit 307. The apparatus 311 may include other circuitries or units to perform certain functions according to another embodiment. The processor 301 may include a central processing unit or an L106 pProcessor. The processor works as a controller to control the power supply circuit 302, the memory 303, the wireless communication chipset 305, the jamming circuit 306, the scan and detection circuit 307 or any combination thereof. The power supply circuit 302 is configured to supply power to the apparatus 311. The memory 304 may include a volatile or non-volatile memory, such as RAM, ROM, EEPROM, or any other device capable of storing data. The antenna 304 may include a monopole antenna, a dipole antenna, a multiple dipole antenna or any combination thereof. In one embodiment, the antenna 304 may include two-directional 9dBi antennas covering a 2.4 GHz band and a 5 GHz band. In another embodiment, the antenna 304 may include may include multidirectional panel antennas. The wireless communication chipset 305 may include a Wi-Fi chipset. The wireless communication chipset 305 is characterized by a high gain, long-range, compatible with IEEE 802.11 IEEE 802.11h, 802. l lb/g/n wireless standards, and is configured to link with an extension antenna. The wireless communication chipset 305 is configured to be operated in lower layers and to do packet sniffing, packet injection, packet creation, or monitoring switching mode, or any combination thereof. The wireless communication chipset 305 is configured to raise jamming level from physical layers to protocol layers. In an embodiment, the wireless communication chipset 305 is configured to be combined with an analyzing software. The jamming circuit 306 and the scan and detection circuit 307 may include switches, transistors, diodes, resistors or any combination thereof. The scan and detection circuit 307 is configured to scan and detect the object 313, and the jamming circuit 306 is configured to perform jamming processes to the object 313. The object may include a drone or the like. The object 313 is controlled by a remote controller 314. The wireless device 312 may include a smart phone or a table or a wearable mobile device. The wireless device 312 is configured to communicate with the apparatus 311. For example, the wireless device 312 is configured to set a monitoring area or protection range of the apparatus 311. The apparatus 311 is configured to estimate the location of the remote controller 314 once the object 313 has been detected.

[0057] In one embodiment, the apparatus 311 is configured to provide real time feedback and notifications on detection and jamming actions to the wireless device 312. In another embodiment, the wireless device 312 is configured to control the apparatus 311 and keep a database of the apparatus up to date.

[0058] According to an embodiment, an apparatus or a system is configured to selectively jam the drone’s video recording capabilities. For example, the apparatus or the system does not automatically jam Wi-Fi or GPS technologies. The apparatus does not jam the in-house and neighboring Wi-Fi and/or based devices, GPS signals, as well as 3G or 4G based devices, and Bluetooth signals.

[0059] In this manner, the apparatus or the system can use the GPS and Wi-Fi technologies to send the drone back to its take-off point. This can be used to gain information regarding the operator of the drone. The apparatus or the system has the advantage of not automatically crashing the drone or disabling its other features.

[0060] According to an embodiment, an apparatus or a system can also integrate a wireless propagation model such that the apparatus or the system is calibrated or controlled by a mobile application.

Another is to provide reassurance by giving real time feedback and notifications on detection and jamming actions, and it could also be used to keep the database up to date. The apparatus or system can allow the mobile application to set a list of an unmanned aerial vehicle such as drones that will not be jammed by the apparatus or system. The list of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be input by a user.

[0061] According to an embodiment, an apparatus or a system may also use a wireless controller. A propagation model can be used to determine the coverage of a base station. The apparatus or a system has the ability to continue to track the drone even as it is channel hopping.
