IIT Jammu Develops Sound-based Anti Drone System; Check Details Here

New Delhi: Professor Karan Nathwani from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Jammu) has created a groundbreaking anti-drone system that relies on sound technology. It took him over six months to an year to meticulously build and test it in real life scenarios.

The drone system is not only cost effective but also user-friendly, making it accessible to the general public. The system is easy to operate, and there are no issues with cameras or radar and was designed considering various challenges, making it versatile.

According to Prof Nathwani, "It is the first of its kind, and we have developed an entirely new technology called sound-based detection. This system detects the sound emitted by drones, producing a unique signature that helps in their identification. We compare this signature with the system's database, and if a match is found, the drone is detected. The cost of this system is about ₹ 4 lakh,".

Here are some of the important parameters on which the drone system has emerged to be revolutionary and ‘one-of-a-kind’.:

• Affordable and accessible

The pricing of the anti-drone system has been kept at a minimal cost of INR 4lakh in comparison to the other costly anti-drone systems available in the market. This makes it affordable and accessible to all types of needs. Its user-friendly design ensures easy deployment and operation by security forces and civilian authorities without specialized training.

• Addressing Security Issues

The Sound-based drone detection systems will detect even drones and birds coming from Pakistan. Worth to mention, along with dealing with terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, the biggest challenge for the security forces at present is drones. Arms, ammunition, cash and drugs are being sent from Pakistan through drones.

• Scalability and Future Prospects

Capable of detecting drones, aircraft, and birds within a 300-meter range, the system offers versatility and effectiveness across various scenarios. With production costs ranging from Rs 25,000 to Rs 40,000, it remains accessible to a wide range of users.
