Rostec completed factory testing of spy drone sound detection system.

The Ataka-Shorokh acoustic reconnaissance module, created by the specialists of the subsidiary holding Ruselectronics, has successfully passed the factory acceptance tests. The equipment confirmed the declared technical characteristics - in particular, the ability to detect drones flying in radio silence by sound at a distance. This was announced at the Interpolitex-2021 exhibition.

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 you to locate an approaching drone from a distance.

“The exploding market for unmanned aerial vehicles requires symmetrical designs to combat misuse such as industrial espionage. The Ataka-Shorokh acoustic detection module, created by Ruselectronics specialists, will complement the line of our equipment for countering UAVs. The equipment has passed the entire complex of factory acceptance tests. The tests have confirmed the trouble-free operation of the equipment, including in difficult weather conditions, ”Rostec said.

The equipment of "Ataka-Shorokh" uses an intelligent system for analyzing the external environment, which will allow detecting emergencies, offenses, mass gatherings of people by characteristic noises.

“The tests have confirmed the ability of intelligent algorithms to detect different types of drones in the background of noise acoustic interference. During the tests, the module was successfully used as an independent system for detecting UAVs by acoustic noise, as well as as part of the Ataka-DBS radio frequency detection and suppression system for UAVs and as part of its mobile version of Ataka-Trophy, ”said a representative of the developer company, general Director of NPP Almaz of the Ruselectronics holding Mikhail Apin.

The equipment can be integrated with the Ataka-DBS complex of radio frequency detection and suppression of UAVs. If the sonic reconnaissance module detects a drone flying in autonomous mode, Attack-DBS blocks the satellite navigation channels of the unwanted vehicle.

The Ataka-Shorokh acoustic reconnaissance module was presented as part of the exposition of the Ruselectronics holding of the Rostec State Corporation at the XXV International Exhibition of State Security Means "Interpolitech - 2021". The event took place from 19 to 22 October at the Crocus Expo exhibition center.
