🛰️ Drone Sentinel – The World’s First Acoustic Early-Warning System for Silent Fiber Drones

🎯 Detect What RF Can’t. Hear What You Can’t See. Get a Head Start.

🔍 What Is Drone Sentinel?

Drone Sentinel is the first-ever acoustic detection unit designed to spot fiber-controlled drones — the stealthiest drones in the sky.

Unlike traditional drones, fiber drones don’t emit RF, GPS, or any wireless signal — they fly under the radar, literally.

🔇 No WiFi.
🔇 No GPS.
🔇 No RF emissions.
🧠 Just silent, cable-tethered missions with zero traditional traceability.

But there’s one thing they can’t hide…
Sound. 🧏

🔊 The Solution: Drone Sentinel

Drone Sentinel uses real-time acoustic analysis to detect and triangulate the presence of nearby drones — even those controlled entirely via fiber optics.

🎧 Acoustic sensing
📡 Zigbee + mesh comms
🌐 Protocol extensible (LoRa, BLE, etc.)
🔋 Low-power hardware
🛠️ Rugged and field-deployable

Designed for use in quiet zones, Drone Sentinel can detect drone motor acoustics from up to 500 meters away, giving operators, security teams, or even hobbyists an early warning system.

🧪 Current Status

✅ Project Uriel v0.1 Hardware Complete
🆕 Rebranded to: Drone Sentinel
🔄 Now developing code to enable Zigbee mesh communication and multi-node alerts

Our next milestone:
🚀 Upload and test the firmware for real-time device-to-device acoustic alerts across a distributed network.

🧠 How It Works

1. Passive Listening — High-sensitivity MEMS microphones listen for specific frequency bands generated by drone propellers.
2. Signal Processing — Acoustic signature is analyzed in real-time onboard.
3. Protocol Alerts — When detected, nodes send alerts via Zigbee or custom mesh protocols.
4. Heads Up Warning — Alerts go to your dashboard or field device — giving you reaction time before the drone is even visible.

🛡️ Why Drone Sentinel Matters

🛑 You can’t jam what you can’t detect.
🧭 RF scanners, SDRs, and spectrum analyzers are useless against fiber drones.
🎧 Only passive acoustic detection gives you a chance.

Whether you’re defending critical infrastructure, protecting VIPs, or just need to know what’s in the sky — Drone Sentinel hears what the airwaves can’t show.

🧰 Ideal For:

🔒 Security teams – Perimeter early warning
🎯 Military operations – Passive detection without broadcasting position
📡 RF-restricted zones – Situational awareness with no emissions
🧪 Drone testers + researchers – Ground truth data + detection testing
