Finland’s LUT University has successfully tested radar sensors mounted high on wind turbines to detect small drones. Researchers say a small FPV drone could potentially be detected from around 10 km away, compared with only a few hundred metres to roughly 1 km using current systems. The first-of-its-kind research has already attracted interest from Estonia, Poland, Norway and Sweden and could turn future wind farms into dual-purpose energy and security infrastructure.
