MINSK, 19 May (BelTA) – A new acoustic system for UAV detection SCANNER 2.1 was presented at the State Authority for Military Industry of Belarus, BelTA learned from representatives of the agency.
The new-generation acoustic locating system (ALS) SCANNER 2.1 has been developed by specialists of the InnoTech Solutions company. Its key peculiarity is the system’s ability to effectively detect fiber-optic controlled drones whose detection by means of radio monitoring is extremely difficult.
The new system creates a detection and direction-finding zone for quadcopter-type UAVs with electric motors. When working together with components of the ALS Scanner complex, it detects fixed-wing UAVs and determines their flight parameters: speed and heading. It is used as part of mobile groups to protect facilities and personnel.
Technical advantages include compact dimensions (the device diameter is 23cm, assembled weight is 1.2kg), mobility (deployment time on the ground is less than 2 minutes), detection range (FPV drones – 100-300m, UAVs with internal combustion engines – 1,000-1,500m depending on the acoustic situation), and autonomous operation (at least 12 hours when powered by a built-in power supply).
The system uses artificial intelligence algorithms to filter out unwanted sounds and isolate the characteristic acoustic signature of FPV drones. Notifications for the operator are repeated on a smartphone screen and a smartwatch.
