Abstract:
A top attack weapon localization and tracking system adapted to locate and track a top attack weapon, said system comprising:an acoustical detection system adapted to detect energy of a first frequency originating from said top attack weapon, and to transmit a first set of data describing the location of said top attack weapon;an optical detection system adapted to detect energy of a second frequency originating from said top attack weapon, and to transmit a second set of data describing the location of said top attack weapon;a sensor fusion processor coupled to said acoustical and said optical detection systems, for receiving said first and said second set of data, and for determining whether said location of said first set of data match said location of second set of data and for generating a signal output if said match occurs;a tracking subsystem coupled to said sensor fusion processor, adapted to receive said signal output and to track location and trajectory of said top attack weapon.
