This standard applies to detection and countermeasure systems targeting small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with a maximum take-off weight less than or equal to 25 kg with particular focus on application scenarios in the airspace less than 1000 m (low-altitude). The technical requirements include performance specifications, environmental adaptability, safety requirements, countermeasure effectiveness, and system reliability. It also covers consumer grade platforms and sensors, enabling hobbyist and commercial off-the-shelf solutions to meet baseline detection criteria, as well as smart system components such as artificial intelligence driven signal processing, autonomous threat classification, and networked response coordination. The standard aims to guide the design, development, testing, and evaluation of small unmanned aerial vehicle detection and countermeasure systems in low-altitude airspace and to provide a unified technical framework for regulatory bodies, equipment manufacturers, system operators, and certification agencies.
