Summary

A Lithuanian startup and activists have launched Drone Rada (Dronuradaras.lt), an open-source drone detection system that uses volunteers' unused Android smartphones to detect Shahed-type drones. The system works by having verified volunteers place an Android phone near a window with a power supply, where an app continuously analyzes ambient sounds for low-frequency signatures characteristic of Shahed drone engines. When suspicious sounds are detected, the acoustic data is linked from participating phones to create a distributed detection network.
