Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), often\nreferred to as drones, have been experiencing healthy growth in the United\nStates and around the world. The positive uses of UAS have the potential to\nsave lives, increase safety and efficiency, and enable more effective science\nand engineering research. However, UAS are subject to threats stemming from\nincreasing reliance on computer and communication technologies, which place\npublic safety, national security, and individual privacy at risk. To promote\nsafe, secure and privacy-respecting UAS operations, there is an urgent need for\ninnovative technologies for detecting, tracking, identifying and mitigating\nUAS. A Counter-UAS (C-UAS) system is defined as a system or device capable of\nlawfully and safely disabling, disrupting, or seizing control of an unmanned\naircraft or unmanned aircraft system. Over the past 5 years, significant\nresearch efforts have been made to detect, and mitigate UAS: detection\ntechnologies are based on acoustic, vision, passive radio frequency, radar, and\ndata fusion; and mitigation technologies include physical capture or jamming.\nIn this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of existing literature in the\narea of C-UAS, identify the challenges in countering unauthorized or unsafe\nUAS, and evaluate the trends of detection and mitigation for protecting against\nUAS-based threats. The objective of this survey paper is to present a\nsystematic introduction of C-UAS technologies, thus fostering a research\ncommunity committed to the safe integration of UAS into the airspace system.\n
