Pre-Shot Threat Detection (PTD)
Abstract
The PTD is a capability designed to detect threat Snipers, Forward Observers and Scouts equipped with direct view and indirect view optics. The PTD functions include laser illumination, optical augmentation and pointing. PTD functions will be integrated into other Soldier systems. The PTD capabilities will be developed in two parallel paths to allow for technology insertions when available. PTD (Overt) provides the maneuver element with an initial solution (Overt) that provides the Soldier with a capability to conduct pre-shot threat detection by detecting and identifying the location. PTD combines the capability of the currently fielded laser systems, thereby reducing redundancy and the Soldiers' load. PTD (Covert) provides the maneuver element with an enhanced solution (Covert) that provides the Soldier with a capability to conduct pre-shot threat detection by detecting and identifying the location of threat optics while remaining undetected.
