TRAILER
The TRAILER (Tracking Ranging And Identification using Laser Energy on the Road) research platform was developed as a mobile tracking platform to obtain precise spatial and temporal information from flying objects. In particular, this system can be used for protection against and defence against micro and mini drones in airspace and for the instruction of fighter drones.
The area of application is intended in particular at airports or in terrestrial or maritime protection zones. The earliest possible detection, precise localisation and clear identification of an unmanned aerial system are necessary prerequisites to enable the security authorities to assess the threat situation. The system includes high-resolution cameras in various spectral ranges as well as eye-safe laser ranging. All sensors are integrated on a highly agile turn-tilt platform that can follow fast-moving objects with high angular acceleration. The entire system is integrated on a car trailer that is approved under the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), so that it can be transported to the site of operation without great effort.
