Control method to prevent malicious UAV intrusion into electricity inspection area

Abstract

In recent years,the exploitation and deployment of UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) has grown rapidly.The number of UAV is increasing and it is becoming more and more important in many areas.For example,the power inspection method has be upgraded from the original manual inspection to unmanned intelligent inspection.However,malicious UAV intrude on the power patrol work area and also bring about safety problems to the power plant's production.Because the electronic fence technology (geo-fencing) lacks the real time and flexibility when it controls the UAV,a novel control method to prevent malicious UAV from invading the power inspection area is proposed.The experimental results demonstrate the effectivity of our proposed method.
