A Russian acoustic reconnaissance module demonstrated the ability to detect drones flying in radio silence by sound at a distance. 

The Ataka-Shorokh, created by Rostec’s subsidiary holding Ruselectronics, has successfully passed the factory acceptance tests. 

The equipment is designed to protect civil and special objects from unauthorized entry of small UAVs. The module is equipped with ultra-sensitive microphones that allow it to locate an approaching drone from a distance.

The technology uses intelligent algorithms for analyzing the external environment, which will allow detecting emergencies, offenses, mass gatherings of people by characteristic noises.

The equipment can be integrated with the Ataka-DBS complex of radio frequency detection and suppression of UAVs, according to airrecognition.com.
