Challenge

AI-Powered Drone Threat Detection

Develop an AI system to detect and classify potential threats posed by drones, focusing on anomaly detection in flight patterns and payload analysis. The system should ingest diverse data sources, including publicly available flight data, news reports, and social media posts, to build a comprehensive risk assessment model. The goal is to create a robust, scalable, and explainable system that can assist in mitigating potential risks associated with unauthorized drone activity. This challenge focuses on practical implementation and utilizes readily available data sources to develop a valuable tool for security professionals.
