Drone services are an ever-increasing industry where their ease-of-use poses critical risks on violating airspaces, necessitating heightened awareness through effective early-warning systems. Monava offers a patent pending solution for detecting drones using an acoustic sensor array capable of identifying all types in real time – enhancing safety for critical infrastructure and defense. We provide a cost-effective solution that can quickly be deployed for larger areas of monitoring – allowing for mitigation measures to be taken to reduce accidents on human life and infrastructure.
