SOLDIER SUPPORT EQUIPMENT - AD

Abstract

The system provides passive detection, computer-based signal processing, and both aural and visual indications to help troops locate a hostile shooter. The GDS reports relative shooter azimuth, range, and elevation from incoming small arms fire. The GDS is able to detect shots fired while stationary and mobile up to 35 mph in open terrain. The system displays shooter detection data, in terms of distance, azimuth and elevation to target, by both visual and aural means. The FY12 funds will be used for System Characterization and Technology Readiness Level (TRL) determination. The System Characterization Study will ascertain the performance of industry systems, will enhance Government knowledge of the benefits of Acoustic, RADAR and Infrared (IR) technologies with respect to detecting incoming gunshots. The study will aid the Government in determining Technology maturity and readiness. The information will feed the development of all the engineering documentation and the Acquisition Requirements Package (ARP).
