The increasing accessibility and technological advancements of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) pose legitimate concerns to nuclear non-proliferation efforts. To deter and combat unwanted or nefarious UAV activity near or around nuclear sensitive sites, the ability to quickly and easily detect drones becomes vital. Our team is exploring the use of ubiquitous smartphones as multi-modal sensors (microphone, accelerometer, gyroscope, etc.) to meet this challenge. In conjunction with Idaho National Lab, two UAV flight tests and one stationary in-air test were conducted and recorded with eight Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphones. This work presents initial characterization and annotation of acoustic signals associated with UAV activity.
