Zusammenfassung:The disclosed threat response system(s) and method(s) provide a mean to secure an area efficiently, safely, effectively and around the clock. The system includes a plurality of microphones strategically located at various locations of the protected area, a plurality of acoustic beacons to provide navigational support one or more autonomous non-flying (ANF) drones, and a central controller. Each of the one or more ANF drones can be equipped with an acoustic positioning system that uses beacon signals (e.g., mechanical waves) transmitted by the plurality of acoustic beacons to determine its position relative to the plurality of acoustic beacons. Once an acoustic event is detected, it can be analyzed to determine whether there is a threat. If the threat is confirmed, the central controller can dispatch one or more of the ANF drones to investigate and/or to engage the target.
