Cheryl O’Keefe and Rebecca Laher, both Massachusetts Institute of Technology research and development engineers, gather data as an aircraft flies overhead during an acoustic sensor demonstration at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Aug. 1, 2024. The demonstration allowed the sensor to read several different types of aircraft and displayed unique acoustic signatures for each that can be useful for early detection of opposing forces.

Cheryl O’Keefe and Rebecca Laher, both Massachusetts Institute of Technology research and development engineers, gather data during an acoustic sensor demonstration at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Aug. 1, 2024. During the demonstration the sensor measured altitude, range and bearing of the aircraft as it passed and created an acoustic signature on a spectrogram. The signature showed tracking of the aircraft’s velocity and direction which can help with early detection of opposing forces. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Dylan Myers)
A C-130J Hercules flies over an acoustic sensor set up for a demonstration at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Aug. 1, 2024. The sensor measured altitude, range and bearing of aircraft as they passed, which showed an acoustic signature on a spectrogram, and is useful for early opposing force detection.
