Sensors and Lasers Functions
See: component of the Soldier’s individual situational awareness perceived directly through the aided or unaided eyeAcquire: perception of an object to enable:- Detect: military significance- Classify: class (human, vehicle, aircraft…)- Recognize: platform type, personnel
clothing and equipment- Identify: friend or foe
Target: sufficient location information to enable engagement:- Aim: for own weapon- Point: for other’s weapon system- Locate: for conventional and coordinate-
guided munitions- Designate: for laser-guided munitions

Objective: improved SA,survivability and lethality
Headborne-fused NIR and LWIR enhances SA primarily by sustaining resolution and improving target detection
What sensor fusion will enhance lethality (P(i)) for weapon sights?
FY08 Efforts:• Tech Trade Study: Size/Weight/Power/Range contributions of various band sensors• NVESD engineering test bed to evaluate sensor mix analysis to include clip-on format
FY09 – Beyond Efforts• Ballistic solution/fire control (crew served and Sniper); weapon sight and head-borne goggle integration
(individual rifleman)

Sensor
KPP Description
Force Protection
System provides bearing to shooter with azimuth error < 7.5 degrees of actual sniper location with range error of 15% of actual range for targets within 400 meters.
Target Detection
System provides 80 percent probability of detection of sniper fire from ranges <400m while dismounted at < 5 mph in open and urban environments.
Size and Weight
Total system weight does not exceed 18 ounces and more than 13 cubic inches for sensors or receiver and a display volume no more than 5 cubic inches, capable of providing a target solution as a stand alone system.
SurvivabilityOperational availability of the Gun Shot Detection (GSD) system will be no less than 90% on a steady state annualized basis consistent with wartime equipment.
23
SWATS Theory of Operation
Self-contained passive acoustic system Detects and localizes the source(s) of small arms fire Utilizes supersonic bullet shockwave and muzzle blast signatures to detect weapon locationScreens out other acoustic events, to include shots within 50m radius Reports bearing / range to the shooter within one second after muzzle blast detection
2 o’clock – 400 m(38SME 40926 25299)
10 o’clock – 275 m(38SME 40926 25299)
12 o’clock –325 m(38SME 40926 25299)
11 o’clock – 250 m(38SME 40926 25299)
Gunshot sensor locates shooter, in relation to the user, and provides a GPS derived location for targeting.
