KEY INTELLIGENCE TAKEAWAYS & SUMMARY

• Project MANOWAR was developed to detect low-signature small UAVs and FPV drones—which can evade radar systems—via acoustic waves.
• The system utilizes a distributed network architecture equipped with a lightweight body structure produced via 3D printing technology and specialized machine learning algorithms.
• During field tests in September, the system achieved a confidence score of over 90 percent against low-altitude threats.
• The project draws attention with its cost-effective structure and self-healing mesh network architecture capable of operating on standard military batteries.
