What HDDS Is
HDDS is a Hybrid Drone Detection System.
The system goal is to detect drone presence more reliably than any single sensor by combining:
- Radar for wide-area motion-sensitive detection,
- Vision for object confirmation in image space,
- Audio for rotor/acoustic confirmation,
- Fusion for final alert logic.
Why The Project Exists
A radar-only detector can produce false alarms under clutter, threshold errors, ambiguous moving interference, or weak unstable peaks.
A vision-only detector can fail in poor visibility, small targets, or low-resolution conditions.
An audio-only detector can fail under background noise, wind, distance, or ambiguous environmental sounds.
The project idea is that multiple weak but consistent signals can be fused into a stronger and more reliable decision.
Current Technical Position
The current project baseline is a Python-only simulation and software project.
There is no hardware in the current validated scope.
The clean implementation is being built in:
~/dev/python/HDDS2/Project v1
Main Project Phases
- radar-only clean baseline,
- reproducible package structure,
- notebook and TUI support,
- multimodal extension,
- final fusion experiments,
- documentation and defense material.
