Hostile Fire & Pre-Shot Detection for Vehicle Protection Systems (Army)
Abstract
This project comparatively tests technologies to autonomously detect and locate incoming hostile fire as well as potential threats before a shot is fired. These technologies will increase situational awareness and reduce response times leading to increased lethality and survivability for ground forces, especially in urban environments. This project enhances DoD capabilities in the Autonomous Systems focus area. If successful, this technology will transition to the Army’s Program Manager for Vehicle Protection Systems for initial fielding in 2023. Test articles received and initial testing, bench testing and safety certification occurred throughout FY 2020, including task plan update and coordination with allied nation. Review and decision expected by the third quarter of FY 2021 was delayed by COVID-19. Expect to complete integration for full operational testing with new system in the second quarter of FY 2022. Expect to close with final test report in the fourth quarter FY 2022 with FY 2021 funds.
