Pilar Gunfire Detection System Upgrades (Special Operations Command)
Abstract
This project will qualify Pilar Gunfire Detection System (GDS) upgrades for the Pilar M1 Fixed Site and M2 Vehicle Mounted GDS. Both variants of the GDS provide detection and localization of the fire origins of the enemy snipers. These upgrades will greatly enhance the Special Operations Forces missions and improve their tactical performance, by adding Global Positioning Satellite coordinates. This added feature will allow our warfighters to retaliate more swiftly with gunfire or take other appropriate actions. The primary outputs and efficiencies are as follws: crucial upgrades to GDS, ensuring Special Operations Forces have the most advanced technology available to effectively locate and defeat sniper or hostile small arms fire. The RDT&E potential savings is estimated at $12.000 million and procurement is estimated at $10.000 million. Fielding reduction is greater than four years. Completion date is scheduled for December 2011.
