acoustic sensing

AERIUP is developing a hands-free two-sensor acoustic wearable designed to provide close-range drone cueing for personnel operating beyond fixed counter-UAS coverage. The system turns local acoustic evidence into simple directional awareness, giving operators additional seconds to orient, move, report, or warn others. Initial live-drone testing showed measurable directional lag at roughly 100 meters, supporting the concept that a minimal two-sensor setup with signal processing may produce useful left-right cueing for nearby drones.

Andrenam builds an AI-powered, distributed maritime sensing network for persistent autonomous awareness from surface to seabed. Its systems use networks of intelligent acoustic buoys that detect, track, and classify objects from submarines to marine life, turning sound into real-time alerts. Together, PEARL and OBSIDIAN provide an end-to-end solution for persistent maritime awareness.
