How Chorus works

A Chorus sensor detects the air vibrations made by aircraft and other motorized vehicles, as well as gunshots. Chorus detects aircraft that emit no RF at all, including fiber-optic drones, autonomous drones, and manned radio-silent airplanes. Additionally, Chorus detects FAA Remote ID broadcasts from complying drones in the United States.
