  • one or more UAVs comprising a transponder and at least one of a transmitter, a localization module and/or a communication module;

    a plurality of radar systems, positioned on buildings or on a ground surface, each of the plurality of radar systems comprising a stationary antenna system, comprising at least one non-rotating antenna, configured so as to transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) signals from which a direction-of-arrival (DOA) of reflected signals is inferred so as to cover and locate the UAVs from 0°

    to 360°

    in azimuth and within a range of from −

    45°

    to 45°

    in elevations below and above the horizon;

    a cloud software stored in a non-transitory memory and configured to be executed by a processor, that stores records of operating UAVs covered and located by the plurality of radar systems so as to allow online and real time situational awareness of UAV aerial traffic, aerial traffic load, and aerial collision predictions.
