Systems and methods of non-line-of-sight passive detection and integrated early warning of an unmanned aerial system by a plurality of acoustic sensors are described. In some embodiments, the plurality of acoustic sensors is positioned within an intra-netted array in depth according to at least one of a terrain, terrain features, or man-made objects or structures. The acoustic sensors are capable of detecting and tracking unmanned aerial systems in non-line-of-sight environments. In some embodiments, the acoustic sensors may be in communication with internal electro-optical components or other external sensors, with orthogonal signal data then transmitted to remote observation stations for correlation, threat determination and if required, mitigation. The unmanned aerial systems may be classified by type and a threat level associated with the unmanned aerial system may be determined.
