Ukrainian start-up ZVOOK in a Facebook post has announced the launch of its low-cost NW0 Ethernet tactical acoustic sensor developed by a team of military service and IT engineers to detect enemy FPV drones (including fiber-optic) by the sound of their operation.
“The device is equipped with artificial intelligence, which analyzes the acoustic environment around the clock and responds instantly to the appearance of an air threat,” said the post. “The detection distance is 150-450 meters, the device itself works at 360 degrees. In case of detection of the whole sensor: activates a sound notification (optional) and transfers data to ZVOOK UI – a convenient interface for monitoring dozens or hundreds of sensors on an interactive map in real time.
“The sensor has a high level of protection against dust, water and mechanical impact (IP67), which allows it to be used in complex combat and weather conditions. The system supports remote firmware updating, which is why the device is constantly improved to take into account new types of threats. To work the sensor, it is necessary to connect it to the power source and network (Ethernet). The sensor is fully equipped, after receiving it you only need to assemble and connect it. Sensor consumption is – 15 watts.
The new sensor can be integrated within a wider network “using fiber optic, vaporized, LTE, or LoRa radio channel.”
