ACOUSTIC DRONE DETECTION
We hear drones that other sensors cannot see
The Challenge
Modern defense faces unprecedented threats from unmanned aerial systems
War, Hybrid War, Spying, Terrorism and Smugling
Drone threat has many faces
Silent Threats
Drones can fly low without radio frequency signature, evading traditional detection
Expensive Systems
Current detection systems (radar, RF, IR) are costly and complex to deploy
Coverage Gap
Europe & NATO need sovereign cost-effective solutions for covering large areas
Our Solution
ORMIA AI-powered acoustic sensors are inspired by the Ormia ochracea fly, which has evolved remarkable directional hearing capabilities. Our biomimetic technology brings this natural advantage to drone detection.
Affordable
Suitable to cover wide areas
Interference Resistant
Cannot be jammed
Totally passive
Cannot be detected
Compatibility
Perfect integration into wider detection systems
Detecting Drones Requires Ears (& Eyes)
Acoustic sensors take over when radars fail.
