Helicopter ALert and Threat Termination (HALTT) (Rapid Insertion)
Abstract
The objective of this project is to provide operational H-60 Blackhawk aircraft with the HALTT Hostile Fire (HF) detection and localization capabilities. HALTT HF leverages Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) developed acoustic detection technologies and consists of a microphone array system that detects all incoming bullets, warns the H-60 aircrews, and localizes the shooter(s). Funds are provided to DARPA to rapidly deploy 4 UH-60 helicopters equipped with the HALTT HF system into theater for an Extended User Evaluation. This initiative addresses two Army Hostile Fire Operational Needs Statements (ONSs).
