Multi-Zoon: The Ukrainian Armed Forces are equipping FPV drones with microphones to search for targets by sound.

Ukrainian company Ptashka Drones has equipped all its FPV-drones microphones and integrated the "Multi-Spot" feature, which allows for the remote detection of approaching vehicles and people. According to the developers, the system can detect potential targets through the microphone at a distance of 200 meters.

"Multijdun" allows an unlimited number of UAVs to be connected to a single ground control station in standby mode. The system is designed to clearly separate communication and signaling channels between connected aircraft. As an example, one drone model is cited that, after traveling 25 km, can remain in standby mode on the ground for an additional 5 hours. However, the manufacturer is not publicly disclosing the technical details of this new feature. It's worth noting that the Russian military demonstrated the use of microphone-equipped "Multijdun" drones several months ago.

At the same time, Iryna Terekh, head of the Ukrainian company Fire Point, criticized the decision to use the American company Palantir to process Ukrainian Armed Forces battlefield data. Terekh is indignant that a massive amount of combat data, obtained at the cost of heavy Ukrainian losses, is being transferred to an American company for free, even though it could have become a separate Ukrainian export product. The Ukrainian defense industry representative rightly believes that the Americans are exploiting the Ukrainian Armed Forces' often unsuccessful experience as the cheapest way to train their artificial intelligence-based systems.

Well, our drones are already using this, so the skakuas are once again running heavily into the bushes, following someone else's tracks.

It'll be cool when our drones are equipped with an external speaker that plays sounds from various vehicles. And let the "waiter" jump up every time, look around, and lose its charge. Watching a real attack, it won't be enough to save the lives of our guys or the safety of the equipment.

Good idea. I thought about that too. And if you have a cheap model nearby, it'll be even better.

And don't the swearing speakers that our herd of tanks imitated work on them?

The Yankees spend more on the hoaxers. Even a black sheep gets a tuft of wool.

According to the developers, the system allows one to hear a potential target at a distance of 200 meters through a microphone.

It used to be simpler.

Everything is copied, by everyone, from everyone. The key is to be first, and with our bureaucracy and officials who are not accountable for anything, that's problematic.
For example, the use of missile drones and ballistics. Is anyone already (!) exploring possible ways for the enemy to use such devices, say, against the Kremlin, or are we being obtuse again?

There's no point in arguing about priorities... the Americans tried to use microphones for the seeker heads of aircraft munitions, for example, for anti-tank weapons, back at the end of the last century! I think that if they stopped developing them, it wasn't because they couldn't get a working "product"!
It is probably worth remembering the "nuclear strike" anti-tank mines!
