New Delhi: In Jammu and Kashmir, a professor in the Electrical Engineering Department of IIT Jammu, Dr. Karan Nathwani has developed an anti-drone system that works mainly on sound technology. Akashvani Jammu Correspondent reports that 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. The drone system is the first of its kind which is developed based on 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. Professor Nathwani said, this signature is compared with the system’s database, and if a match is found, the drone is detected. The cost of this system is about 4 lakh rupees. 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. In such a situation, different technologies are being developed for the security forces to deal with the increasing trend of drones. In this series, IIT Jammu has prepared this sound-based drone detection system. With the help of this system, this device will be able to easily detect drones, aircraft, multiple drones or birds flying up to 300 meters by their sound.
