On the heel of reports that drones are mysteriously buzzing around the Eiffel Tower and crashing into the White House lawn , a Japanese security system companyis developing a new bourdon detector — a system to sniff out any shady eye in the sky buzzing around the haywire places . The marching music toward dystopia continues .
Tokyo - free-base Alsok , also known as Sohgo Security Services , is out to free government office building and ability industrial plant of unwished flying robots . Why ? The business firm says concealment business and terrorist threats are why the unmanned aircraft need ceaseless surveillance .
To tell apart the unwished UAVs the detection system of rules take heed for pilotless aircraft ’ tell - tale phone . You see , each drone has an “ audio fingerprint”—the sound of its whiz propellers , explains theNikkei Asian Review . Alsok will detect any monotone humming in the area with mics that have hear ranges of 500 foot in all directions . The audio is then equalize to an Alsok database that ’s full of drone sounds .
According to the company , security personnel office will not only be able to observe where a drone could be coming from , but also what case of drone it is . Handy , since many of the aircraft are unseeable to radar .
The company will also dispatch what it call “ hyper security guards”—personnel strapped with wearable cameras and smartphones who will aid in the poke - corralling mission .
Drones are n’t exceedingly popular in Japan right now . Last month , one laced with teeny amounts of radioactive materialplopped onto the roofof the prime minister ’s office . And last week it was announced that the flying robots arebannedfrom ballpark in Tokyo , to keep tiddler safe .
But these sort of catching system are n’t sole to Japan . DC - basedDrone Shielddeploys the same type of audio realization method as Alsok . According to its web site , Drone Shield uses “ a database of mutual drone acoustic signatures so false alarms are reduced ( i.e. , ignore lawn mowers and folio blowers ) and in many cases the eccentric of monotone is also included in the alert . ”
As much as drones can bea force for good , the more dystopian use are exonerated , and we should expect more anti - drone technology to come .
