Soldiers from the Yakim detachment of the BARS-Kursk brigade are conducting combat testing of a new acoustic drone detection system. The system, developed by the Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies (CUST), utilizes a neural network to identify UAV types and can be integrated into broader air situational awareness systems.
Soldiers from the Yakim detachment of the BARS-Kursk brigade are conducting combat testing of the latest acoustic drone detection system, the developer Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies (CUST) told TASS.
"Soldiers from the Yakim detachment of the BARS-Kursk brigade have begun combat testing of the latest acoustic drone detection system. A pilot test area has been identified, and organizational issues related to connecting the sensors and establishing the power supply are being addressed. The system is essentially a sound reconnaissance system. It was developed by one of the CUST's partners. The system is designed to increase troops’ awareness of unmanned aerial threats. It features a neural network module that can identify the type of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)," the statement reads.
The CUST specified that according to the test results, the acoustic detection system will be upgraded to take into account the current combat situation and the needs of air defense units. "This system can be integrated into the air situational awareness ecosystem, which receives information from radars and other area and object-based UAV detection systems," the company noted.
The center emphasized that the experience of modern conflicts clearly demonstrates the demand for sound reconnaissance systems. "They are compact and consume little power. Artificial intelligence plays a special role in improving modern acoustic reconnaissance. AI technologies are used to improve noise selection and increase the accuracy of enemy drone positioning," the Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies added.
