VADR

Versatile Acoustic Detection Rig

Passive, RF-silent acoustic sensing at scale: a single VADR node detects and tracks small UAS without line of sight, including autonomous and tethered drones invisible to RF detection.

Deliverable at Scale

A modular stack with a deep supply chain, built to be manufactured in volume. High performance at low SWAP-C.

Hear. Fix. Track.

Tightly integrated nodes combine their detections to track small UAS without line of sight, with greater range and accuracy, in cluttered, dense environments such as forests...or urban environments.

Built to lose nodes

Inference runs at the edge: each node hears and beamforms on its own. Lose nodes and coverage thins, but the network keeps tracking.

~6W

Low enough to run from battery and solar, so nodes can be placed remotely, far from mains power and existing infrastructure.

Deployable by the Thousands

Blanket an entire area with persistent acoustic coverage: thousands of nodes, each hearing for itself, all feeding a single picture.
