Public drone datasets (Anti-UAV, DUT Anti-UAV, Drone-vs-Bird) are small, filmed at one or two sites, and licensed for research. The sets below are synthetic, so they cover the scenes a counter-UAS system actually watches: runway approaches, perimeter fences, skies with birds and aircraft as hard negatives, and swarms of small targets a few pixels wide.
Labels are YOLO boxes; the airport set includes evaluation clips. Licences are one-time, research or commercial, with larger packs for teams training on many scenes.

Questions
Drone and counter-UAS datasets: common questions
What is a drone detection dataset?
Labelled images or clips of unmanned aircraft seen from ground cameras, other aircraft or radar-cued EO sensors, used to train detectors that separate drones from birds, aircraft and clutter.
Do the datasets include birds and aircraft as hard negatives?
Yes. The airport drone set labels birds and aircraft so a detector learns not to alarm on them; the swarm set adds clutter, haze and distance.
Can defence companies license the data?
Yes. The commercial licence ($590 per 1,000 images, one-time) covers one organisation; larger packs and custom scenes are available. The data is synthetic and carries no sensor signatures or geolocation.
