Abstract: RADARDRONE was one of the projects funded by Sardegna Ricerche, the Sardinia Regional government agency devoted to manage and finance research programs. The project involved more than 10 private companies together with the INAF-OACA and the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of the Cagliari University. The main aim of the project was to analyze and study different systems for the radio detection of the drones and to perform some studies in radar systems. We organized many meetings and teleconfs in order to involve as much as possible the companies in our activities, also if the COVID19 caused a lot of problems to our laboratory activities and researches.
