Details

This system uses AI to passively detect, track, and characterize unmanned aerial systems (drones) by analysing the acoustic or radar signals produced by their rotating propellers — not by matching images. It is a research and development tool operated by the National Research Council Canada, currently used by Government of Canada employees. The system is not yet disclosed to the public when in operation.
