Abstract:
1. An integrated audiovisual threat warning system comprising: a threat detection sub-system configured to detect a threat and, responsive to detection of the threat, to generate a warning tone and an estimated relative location of origin of the threat with respect to a host platform with which the threat warning system is associated; an audio processor coupled to the threat detection sub-system and configured to receive the warning tone, geo-spatial coordinate data from the host platform, and the estimated relative location of origin of the threat, and to process the warning tone based on the geo-spatial coordinate data and the estimated relative location of origin of the threat to generate a directional audio warning signal; a plurality of speakers coupled to the audio processor and configured to audibly project the directional audio warning signal to audibly identify the estimated relative location of origin of the threat; a display screen; and a video processor coupled to the threat detection sub-system and to the display screen, and configured to receive the estimated relative location of origin of the threat and to control the display screen to display the estimated relative location of origin of the threat overlaid on a map, the video processor being further configured to calculate a region of overlap between estimated relative locations of origin of successively detected threats and to control the display screen to display the region of overlap overlaid on the map and visually distinguished from the estimated relative location of origin of the threat.
