SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ESTIMATING A SHOOTER RANGE BY DETECTING SHOCK WAVE AND MUZZLE BLAST

摘要

pSystems and methods for locating the shooter of supersonic projectiles are described. The system uses at least five spaced acoustic sensors. Sensor signals are detected for shockwaves and optionally muzzle blast, wherein muzzle blast detection can be either incomplete coming from less than 4 sensor channels, or inconclusive due to lack of signal strenght. A genetic algorithm can be used to efficiently disambiguate the results./p[WO2006096208A2]
