BSS Komodo
Komodo is a passive acoustic sensor for drone detection, classification, and localisation. By continuously monitoring ambient sound patterns, Komodo analyses acoustic signatures in real time using embedded processing to identify irregularities and potential drone activity.
This passive acoustic drone detection capability enables Komodo to support drone classification, and localisation while providing rapid alerts to operators. The sensor can also cue other sensors and effectors, supporting C-UAS situational awareness and integrated drone detection and response.

Passive Acoustic Detection
Komodo incorporates a vertical array of high-sensitivity microphones, providing omnidirectional acoustic detection for UAS. The microphones are connected to embedded processors that combine signal amplification and machine learning to detect and locate acoustic signatures of drones in real time.
By comparing passively recorded sensor data with an integrated acoustic library, the passive C-UAS system can detect and alert operators to incoming unauthorised drone activity. This enables real-time acoustic UAS detection and localisation without actively transmitting signals.
As part of a layered C-UAS defence architecture, Komodo can complement other detection technologies, including radar, RF and optical systems. Its passive acoustic detection capability provides an additional sensing layer, supporting C-UAS situational awareness and giving operators an additional source of information for detecting and locating potential drone activity.
By combining acoustic sensing with other available sensor technologies, Komodo can contribute to a broader layered drone detection system, where different detection methods complement one another across the operational environment.

In Use in Ukraine
In Use in Ukraine
Throughout the invasion of Ukraine, drones have been widely used as part of military operations and have played an important role in attacks against positions and infrastructure.
BSS Komodo is actively deployed in Ukraine, where its passive acoustic drone detection technology has been used to detect incoming fibre-optic, FPV and Shahed-type drones, as well as other UAS variants.
The deployment in Ukraine provides operational experience of Komodo in a real-world conflict environment.
Here, Komodo has demonstrated its capability to provide real-time detection of unauthorised aerial activity.
The system's ability to detect different types of incoming drones, including fibre-optic, FPV and Shahed-type drones, demonstrates the practical application of its acoustic sensing, and classification capabilities under operational conditions.
