Acoustic method for identifying the use of unmanned aerial vehicles as sources of emergencies

Keywords: emergency, unmanned aerial vehicle, monitoring, identification, acoustic signal, spectral analysis, cluster analysis, wavelet analysis

Abstract

Purpose: further development of the scientific and technical foundations of acoustic monitoring and automated identification of various types of unmanned aerial vehicles that pose a danger to the lives of the civilian population and the normal functioning of the state’s infrastructure.

Method: methods of analysis and synthesis of acoustic signals.

Theoretical implications: the method for automatic detection of unmanned aerial vehicles and determination of their types based on acoustic signals, which combines cluster analysis and wavelet analysis, has been improved.

Practical implications: a control algorithm for the improved method has been developed, which involves the following procedures: 1) monitoring of the acoustic space of the protected area using a system of ground-based automated acoustic control devices and passive location of sources of danger; 2) noise filtering and amplification of the “useful” signal; 3) frequency analysis of the “useful” signal; 4) detection of an unmanned aerial vehicle; 5) identification of the detected unmanned aerial vehicle; 6) development of proposals for anti-crisis decisions.

Papertype: theoretical, practical.
