ADA: Acoustic Drone Alert

ADA turns your Android phone into a private acoustic drone detector and drone-awareness aid. Arm it when you want to monitor nearby sound. Its on-device model analyzes three-second audio windows and waits for repeated drone-like evidence before alerting.

HOW ADA WORKS

• Arm and disarm monitoring whenever you choose.
• Adjust sensitivity and confirmation time to suit your surroundings.
• Keep monitoring with the screen off while Android shows a persistent monitoring notification.
• Receive on-device alerts when repeated evidence meets your settings.

UNDERSTAND EACH ALERT

• Review recent incidents and confidence levels.
• See a likely drone model or rotor class when the acoustic evidence supports it; otherwise ADA stays cautious.
• Use built-in demo sounds to learn the interface without monitoring your microphone.

DETECTION MAP AND FILTERS

New Google Maps view with model colors, zoomable incident clusters, and road, satellite and terrain views.
Filter Map and History by model and time range in your chosen time zone.
My location centers on your device with permission. Markers show recorded device locations, not drone positions.

Map imagery needs internet. Google processes map requests and device information. Optional My location works only while Map is in the foreground; it does not enable incident location saving or Telegram sharing.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• Core sound analysis runs on your phone.
• The microphone is used only while ADA is armed.
• Ordinary microphone audio is processed and discarded, not uploaded.
• Optional three-second alert clips are off by default and stay local unless you export them.
• Optional location tagging records where your phone heard the sound—not the drone’s location.
• No ADA account or developer cloud service is required for core detection.
• Delete local history and saved data whenever you choose.

OPTIONAL TELEGRAM ALERTS

Send detection notices to your private Telegram chat or a channel you manage. Telegram setup and internet access are required. Audio is never attached. Location and technical reports are shared only if you enable each option separately.

IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS

ADA detects sound patterns; it does not visually identify or locate a drone. Distance, wind, traffic, buildings, other machinery and your phone’s microphone can affect results. ADA may miss a drone or react to a similar sound.

Use ADA as an awareness aid. Do not rely on it as visual confirmation or as professional safety, security or emergency equipment.
