Un système et un procédé de détection, d'identification et de localisation de drones peuvent éclairer une cible avec une ou plusieurs fréquences porteuses radiofréquence (RF) sélectionnées. Les émissions directes reçues de la cible et les réémissions générées par la cible peuvent être traitées pour déterminer si la cible est un drone. Les réémissions peuvent être générées par des circuits de la cible résultant de l'éclairage avec la ou les fréquences porteuses RF multiples. Les réémissions peuvent comprendre des produits de modulation croisée (CMP) comprenant des émissions non linéaires forcées (FNLE). Les émissions directes et les réémissions peuvent être traitées pour générer une signature RF pour la cible. La cible peut être déterminée comme étant un drone et le type de drone peut être identifié sur la base de la signature RF.
