IIT Jammu Develops Revolutionary Sound-Based Anti-Drone System
- 15 Feb 2024
A professor in the Electrical Engineering department at IIT, Jammu has recently pioneered an innovative anti-drone system primarily leveraging sound technology.
Key Points
- Novel Technology: The anti-drone system is groundbreaking, utilizing a cutting-edge sound-based detection technology.
- Unlike traditional methods, this system identifies drones by analyzing the unique sound signatures they emit, allowing for swift and accurate detection.
- Cost-Effective and User-Friendly: With a modest price tag of approximately ₹4 lakh, the system is not only cost-effective but also remarkably user-friendly, making it accessible to the general public. Its simplicity of operation and independence from cameras or radar enhance its practicality.
- Versatility and Adaptability: Designed to address various challenges, the system boasts versatility, ensuring its efficacy across diverse environments and scenarios.
- It is particularly relevant for countering the growing threat of drones, including those used for illicit activities originating from Pakistan.
- Development Process and Challenges: The development of this technology took between six months to a year, with the primary challenge revolving around data acquisition.
- Collaboration with Security Forces: While the system holds immense potential for bolstering security forces' capabilities, collaboration is essential.
- Detection Capabilities: The sound-based drone detection system can accurately detect drones, aircraft, or birds flying up to 300 meters by analyzing their sound signatures.
- The system's affordability, with costs ranging from Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 40,000, further enhances its accessibility and utility.
