AERIUP

A Personal Awareness Layer for Drone Defense

Wearable sensing designed to give patrol personnel earlier notice of nearby drones.

Two sensors per soldier. No fixed infrastructure. No active emissions.

The gap

Low-cost drones increasingly threaten patrol personnel and security forces at close range. Installation sensors protect airspace, but do not follow personnel operating at the patrol edge.

What we are building

AERIUP is developing a hands-free wearable two-sensor acoustic system for close-range drone cueing. The system is designed to extend layered drone defense to the individual operator and provide a few additional seconds for orientation and response.

Early results

Initial live-drone testing showed measurable directional lag at roughly 100 meters. The result supports the core concept: a minimal two-sensor setup with signal processing can produce useful left-right cueing.

Initial operational focus

AERIUP’s initial focus is security forces perimeter patrol operations, especially in known terrain, recurring patrol routes, and night or reduced-visibility conditions where simple audible cues fit normal patrol workload and equipment practices.

Development path

Current development is focused on building the first wearable sensing prototype, collecting on-body live-drone data across representative patrol environments, and refining cueing logic and packaging toward a fieldable prototype.
