one or more lighting fixtures;
one or more radar sensors configured to detect a moving object in an outside environment;
one or more controllers configured to:
receive data from one or more sensors;
determine the velocity and velocity change rate of the object over a period of time;
determine, by the one or more radar sensors in the outdoor lighting network, if the moving object is a drone based on the monitored velocity or velocity change rate of the moving object, the moving object being determined to be a drone if the monitored velocity or velocity change rate is substantially constant;
if the moving object is determined to be a drone:
analyze flight data pertaining to the drone to determine the starting location of the drone;
send a signal indicating the starting location of the drone.
