C-Sniper

Abstract

Based on promising results obtained under the Crosshairs program, the C-Sniper effort will develop the capability to detect and neutralize enemy snipers before they can engage U.S. Forces. The program will deliver a field testable prototype suitable for experimentation on a compatible vehicle such as the Stryker. The C-Sniper system will identify threats before they can fire. Enemy snipers may be operating both with and without telescopic sights and other optical systems in highly cluttered urban environments. The C-Sniper system will operate day and night from a static or mobile military vehicle and will provide the operator with sufficient information to make a timely engagement decision. Once a decision is made, the C-Sniper will provide data and control to point and track the on-board weapon to the selected target. The final decision to fire the weapon will be left to the operator.
