C-Sniper

Abstract

(U)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 lead to the delivery of a field testable prototype suitable for experimentation as an integrated part of the DARPA Crosshairs system. The C-Sniper system will identify threats before they can fire. The 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 moving military vehicle and will provide the operator with sufficient information to make a timely engagement decision. Once the decision is made, the C-Sniper will provide data and control to point and track the on-board weapon on the selected target. The final decision to fire the weapon will be left to the operator.
