Indigenous Acoustic Detection.
Abstract
Sound producing insects with loud, continuous calling songs cease singing at the approach of an intruder. These naturally occurring insects may, therefore, be used as sensors of enemy infiltrators. Sound levels, calling distances, approach distances, singing restart times, and density surveys were made on ten commonly occurring species of sound producing insects found in southeastern United States and Panama. Briefings with ten DOD groups indicate the need for training in the use of these insect sensors.
