Inspiration

The rise of consumer drones has made it easier than ever for unauthorized devices to enter restricted spaces. We noticed a growing problem: most drone-detection systems rely on expensive radar or camera setups, which struggle in low visibility or complex environments.

What inspired us was a simple idea: Drones make a unique sound — what if we teach AI to hear it? This was the question that started our entire journey.

What it does

We were determined to develop a Live Dashboard capable of detecting various drones in noisy outdoor environments to act as support of existing RF and visual detector systems , allowing the user to monitor environments where cameras and RF detection is not practical. ​

How we built it

Using the CNN model

Challenges we ran into

CNN model failure due to incorrect dataset feed. Dashboard failed to run on the new Model created

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We trained our first machine learning Audio layer 3 CNN model

What we learned

We can accomplish anything with team work

What's next for Ultra Drone Detectors UDD

Improving the AI detection
