A sound masking system for shaping the ambient noise level in a physical environment. The sound masking system comprises a networked and distributed system having a number of master units coupled together and to a control unit. One or more of the master units may include satellite sound masking units which function to reproduce the sound masking signal generated by the master sound masking unit. Each of the master units is addressable over the network by the control unit enabling the control unit to program the contour, spectral band, and gain characteristics of the sound masking output signal. The system may also include a remote control unit which provides the capability to tune and adjust each master sound masking unit in situ without requiring physical access through the ceiling installation.

A system for providing integrated detection and deterrence against an unmanned vehicle including but not limited to aerial technology unmanned systems using a detection element, a tracking element, an identification element and an interdiction or deterrent element. Elements contain sensors that observe real time quantifiable data regarding the object of interest to create an assessment of risk or threat to a protected area of interest. This assessment may be based e.g., on data mining of internal and external data sources. The deterrent element selects from a variable menu of possible deterrent actions. Though designed for autonomous action, a Human in the Loop may override the automated system solutions.

Techniques are provided for defending against an ultrasonic attack on a speech enabled device. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes detecting voice activity in an audio signal received by the device and generating an ultrasonic jamming signal in response to the detection. The jamming signal is broadcast over a loudspeaker for up to the duration of the detected voice activity to defend against the ultrasonic attack. According to another embodiment, the ultrasonic jamming signal is generated in response to detection of a wake-on-voice key phrase in the received audio signal, and the jamming signal is broadcast over the loudspeaker for a time duration selected to be less than or equal to a time window during which spoken commands are accepted by the device following the wake-on-voice key phrase detection. The jamming signal may include white or colored noise, combinations of tones, and/or a periodic sweep frequency.

A receiver may be selectively blanked synchronized with at least a portion of the symbol content.

A method, a computer program, and a device for reducing interference of temporary communication resources used for a wireless communication between a transportation vehicle key and a transportation vehicle. The method includes determining whether interference of the temporary communication resources is present and switching off the device causing the interference or adjusting the use of the temporary communication resources for the wireless communication between the transportation vehicle key and the transportation vehicle in response to interference being present.

A portable countermeasure device is provided comprising one or more directional antennae, one or more disruption components and at least one activator. The portable countermeasure device further comprises a body having a dual-grip configuration, with the directional antennae are affixed to a front portion of the body. The one or more disruption components may be internally mounted within the device body. The dual-grip configuration allows an operator to use his body to steady and support the device while maintaining the antenna on target. The second grip is positioned adjacent the first grip, with the first grip angled toward the rear of the device and the second grip angled toward the front of the device. The portable countermeasure device is aimed at a specific drone, the activator is engaged, and disruptive signals are directed toward the drone, disrupting the control, navigation, and other signals to and from the drone.

System and for signal re-transmission including a channelizer, a signal-effect-processor and a controller. The signal-effect-processor includes a plurality of sub-band-processors and a summer. The channelizer receives a sampled Intermediate-Frequency signal exhibiting a first sampling-rate. The channelizer produces a plurality of sub-band-signals, each associated with a respective sub-band of the Intermediate-Frequency signal. Each sub-band-signal exhibit a second sampling-rate lower than the first sampling-rate. Each of at least one selected sub-band-processor receives a respective sub-band-signal, introduces at least one effect to the respective sub-band-signal, and increases the sampling-rate of the respective sub-band-signal to the first sampling-rate, thereby producing a respective affected sub-band re-transmit signal. Each selected sub-band-processor is further provides the respective affected sub-band re-transmit signal to a respective input of the summer. The summer sums the inputs thereof to produce a wideband affected re-transmit signal. The controller selects the selected sub-band processor and controls settings of the at least one effect.
