The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for different applications has increased tremendously during the past decade. The small size, high maneuverability, ability to fly at predetermined coordinates, simple construction, and affordable price have made UAVs a popular choice for diverse aerial applications. However, the small size and the ability to fly close to the terrain make the detection and tracking of UAVs challenging. Similarly, unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) have revolutionized underwater operations. UUVs can accomplish numerous tasks that were not possible with manned underwater vehicles. In this survey paper, we provide features and capabilities expected from current and future UAVs and UUVs, and review potential challenges and threats due to use of such UAVs/UUVs. We also overview the countermeasures against such threats, including approaches for the detection, tracking, and classification of UAVs and UUVs.

<p> The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for different applications has increased many folds in recent years. The UAVs are expected to change the future air operations. However, there are instances where the UAVs can be used for malicious purposes. The detection, tracking, and classification of UAVs is challenging compared to manned aerial vehicles (MAVs) mainly due to small size, complex shapes, and ability to fly close to the terrain and in autonomous flight patterns in swarms. In this survey, we will discuss current and future aerial threats, and provide an overview of radar systems to counter such threats. We also study the performance parameters of radar systems for the detection, tracking, and classification of UAVs compared to MAVs. Finally, limitations of radar systems and comparison with other techniques that do not rely on radars for detection, tracking, and classification of aerial threats are also provided. </p>
