Coupling acoustic sniper detection arrays with thermal surveillance turrets for autonomous, sub-second threat triangulation.
Microphone arrays sample acoustic shockwaves at 192 kHz, estimating shooter azimuth and elevation in under 80 milliseconds and commanding the primary turret to slew directly onto target.
Upon slewing, co-aligned MWIR thermal and starlight zoom cameras confirm threat presence using convolutional classifiers, transmitting target coordinates to fleet commanders.
In live-fire trials on military ranges, the system achieved a 98.2% acoustic detection accuracy across 360 degrees and cued visual verification within 450 milliseconds.
