Acoustics as an additional sense
Detect, localise, analyse and integrate acoustic information across defence, security and aerospace applications — from deployable COTS systems to real-time sensor integration.

What are you trying to achieve?
From acoustic events to actionable data
Some teams need a complete solution they can deploy today. Others need acoustic data integrated into a larger platform. Start with the application.
Detection & localisation
Drones, vehicles and other acoustic events — visualised and localised in real time.
System integration & sensor fusion
Real-time streams, APIs and acoustic localisation for larger surveillance and sensing platforms.
Service & maintenance
Find abnormal noise, leaks and vibration problems on military vehicles, vessels and machinery.
Acoustic signature & source analysis
Characterise sources, compare configurations and understand where acoustic energy originates.
Audio & communication testing
Repeatable testing of headsets, microphones, loudspeakers and communication systems.
Sensors & environmental testing
Measurement microphones, accelerometers, hydrophones and acoustic sensor platforms for demanding environments.
Drone detection & protected sites
Locate the source. Inform the next decision.
Acoustic localisation can add useful information to a wider security picture. The practical setup depends on background noise, weather, geometry, source characteristics and the site itself.
Drone localisation
Visualise the acoustic source and explore how localisation data can support operators or become part of a broader sensor platform.
Perimeter monitoring
Monitor acoustic activity around protected areas and evaluate sensor position, site conditions and integration with existing security systems.
Critical infrastructure
Add passive acoustic sensing around energy facilities, ports, communications sites and other protected infrastructure as part of a wider surveillance and monitoring concept.
Detection in action
Acoustic information beyond visual line of sight
Acoustic detection does not depend on lighting conditions or a clear visual view of the source. Acoustic information may still be detected and localised in darkness, low visibility or when a source is partly obscured by vegetation, structures or terrain.
Deploy it. Or integrate it.
Complete systems and integration-ready sensors
Use a complete SoundCam solution directly out of the box, or integrate acoustic sensing into a larger platform when the application requires real-time localisation, data streams and system-level control.
COTS systems
Fast deployment and immediate visualisation.
Sensor integration
Real-time data streams and API-based workflows.
Sensor fusion
Combine acoustic localisation with video, thermal
or other sensing technologies.
Technical sparring
From proof of concept and architecture
to implementation.
Service & maintenance
Trace faults on vessels and vehicles
Acoustic imaging helps technicians locate unusual sound sources and leaks directly at machinery and equipment. Combine acoustic findings with vibration measurements when the diagnosis calls for it.
Vessels and maritime systems
Investigate machinery, auxiliary systems and difficult-to-access sound sources aboard naval and service vessels.
Vehicles and field equipment
Locate abnormal noise and leaks, compare operating states and document findings before returning the platform to service.
Acoustic signature & source analysis
Understand what the system radiates — and where it comes from
Characterise acoustic sources, compare configurations and operating states, and identify the dominant contributors to the overall sound field. The same measurements can support development, troubleshooting and acoustic signature analysis.
Source localisation
Identify dominant radiating areas and components.
Configuration comparison
Compare operating modes, prototypes or design changes.
Spectral analysis
Understand frequency content and characteristic acoustic features.
Measurement documentation
Create repeatable data for engineering decisions and further analysis.
Audio & communication systems
Repeatable testing from component to complete device
Automate and document testing of headsets, microphones, loudspeakers and communication devices — from development and verification to production testing.
Build repeatable test sequences around the parameters that matter for the device, including frequency response, level, distortion, microphone and loudspeaker performance and complete communication signal paths.
Aerospace & demanding environments
Build the right measurement chain for difficult conditions
High sound levels, vibration, airflow, limited mounting space and demanding test conditions require the right combination of sensors, data acquisition and measurement technology.
Sensor selection
Match the sensing principle, dynamic range, bandwidth,
environment and mounting method to the measurement task.
Data acquisition
Configure multichannel measurement chains around
the required signals and test conditions.
Signal conditioning
Support measurement microphones, IEPE sensors and other
transducers with the appropriate front-end technology.
Analysis & documentation
Turn sensor data into repeatable measurements,
comparisons and engineering decisions.
Sensor technology
Choose the right sensor for the signal
Airborne sound, structural vibration, underwater acoustics and real-time acoustic localisation each call for a different sensing principle. These sensor families can be used individually or combined as part of a complete measurement or monitoring chain.
Airborne sound
Measurement microphones
Precision microphones for sound pressure, high-level measurements, wide bandwidth, specialised mounting and demanding environments.
Structural vibration
Accelerometers
Vibration sensors for structural testing, machinery measurements and applications where mechanical behaviour must be measured directly.
Underwater acoustics
Hydrophones
Sensors for underwater acoustic measurement, monitoring and analysis in naval, marine and other demanding underwater applications.
Detection & localisation
Acoustic cameras & localisation sensors
Microphone-array sensors for real-time source localisation, acoustic imaging, detection and integration into larger platforms.
