Firm’s Opto-Acoustic Sensors Have Counter Drone, Critical Infrastructure Protection Applications
The So What: Adelos’ technology allows for highly accurate detection of objects (think drones) at a distance from a military base, an airport, a nuclear power plant. And not just airborne threats – it can detect threats on land, in the water, and even underground.
Adelos is competing in the Base Security & Defense Challenge, a US DOD initiative to spark innovation in military base security.
Its AFWERX award follows the successful completion of the Phase I evaluation of Adelos’ Phosonic advanced perimeter security system. Phosonic is an opto-acoustic ground-based sensor that detects, classifies, localizes, and tracks a variety of threat targets of interest to the US Government. Source: Adelos press release.
