NATO Shows Interest in Ukrainian Acoustic Detection Networks for Air Defense

The defense ministries of some NATO countries have highly praised the potential of acoustic air threat detection systems based on the experience of using the Ukrainian Zvook and Sky Fortress systems.

The Economist reported on this.

After the Ukrainian systems successfully proved themselves on the battlefield, the ministries of defense of several NATO countries began purchasing acoustic equipment for their national air defense systems.

The European defense giant Thales has begun work in this area and plans to present its own acoustic network to detect aerial threats next year. And the Polish company Advanced Protection Systems has resumed work on a similar system.

According to General James Hecker, Commander of the U.S. Air Force in Europe, the Ukrainian experience is at the heart of this excitement. He describes the Ukrainian innovation in acoustic monitoring as “extraordinary.”
