Russia Tests New Acoustic Drone‑Detection System

Russia has begun combat trials of a new acoustic drone‑detection system developed by a domestic firm. The system incorporates a neural‑network module that can identify the type of unmanned aerial vehicle detected. The trials are part of Russia’s ongoing efforts to enhance its air‑defence capabilities.

The developer highlighted the system’s advanced neural‑network component, which allows for rapid classification of UAVs based on acoustic signatures. No further technical specifications or deployment timelines were disclosed in the announcement.

The initiative follows Russia’s broader strategy to modernise its defence technology, although the source did not provide additional context beyond the system’s basic features.
