A Drone Threat Acoustic Sensor is a passive detection system that uses an array of sensitive microphones to identify and locate unauthorized drones by their unique acoustic signature. Unlike radar or RF scanners, it detects the distinct sound profile of drone motors and propellers, making it effective against drones not transmitting RF signals (on autonomous missions) or in cluttered urban environments. It provides early warning and direction-finding for counter-drone (C-UAS) systems protecting sensitive sites.

Key Points:
– Passive detection: does not emit any signal, making it undetectable and ideal for covert operations.
– Uses acoustic fingerprinting and machine learning to classify drone types and distinguish them from background noise.
– Provides azimuth and sometimes elevation data to cue other sensors (cameras, jammers).
– Effective range varies (a few hundred meters) and is influenced by environmental noise.
– A key layer in a multi-sensor C-UAS suite, complementing radar, RF, and EO/IR detection.
– Critical for protecting military bases, prisons, and critical infrastructure from silent drone threats.
