Falkonis Nest: The Bird Box That Listens for Drones
Falkonis presents a passive sensor node that listens for drone radio emissions and sends an alert without transmitting on its sensing path.
- For
- Perimeter and infrastructure operators needing unattended drone warning
- Worth noticing
- The proposed node processes radio signals locally and sends only a short cellular alert.
Field notes
The project separates detection from alerting: the node listens locally, while a cellular message carries the warning to a phone or command platform. Its proposed enclosure is deliberately domestic-looking, described as a bird box that can hang from a tree or pole and operate without mains power. The page identifies the current device as a first prototype and mentions acoustic sensing as a future addition, so the displayed range and endurance should be read as design targets rather than demonstrated performance.
