Current Status

Batear is functioning as a flashable baseline and has been successfully tested against prerecorded drone audio. We need real-world testing! Acoustic drone detection in real environments depends heavily on distance, wind, background noise, and drone type.

Areas We Need Help

If you have a micro drone, a soldering iron, and some free time, we would love your help:

• Real-world threshold calibration per drone type
• Noise filtering improvements
• ML-based detection (ESP-NN / TFLite Micro)
• Multi-gateway mesh networking
• Battery/solar power optimizations
