Microflown AVISA is exhibiting the revolutionary Acoustic Vector Sensor technology and is discussing Acoustic Situational Awareness requirements in Hall 6 at Booth No. A-641.
Microflown AVISA develops acoustic systems to detect, classify and localise sound sources from various platforms. Two new systems have been developed: a scoring system for training ranges (RAM-SCORE) and a wide area surveillance system for mission use (RAM-LOC). These systems make use of the Microflown Acoustic Vector Sensor (AVS), the world's only 3D acoustic particle velocity sensor.
RAM-SCORE is an innovative passive acoustic scoring system for rocket, artillery and mortar (RAM) training and proving ranges, providing fast and accurate location reports of points of origin (POO) and points of impact (POI) on the range. The system has been developed in cooperation with the Royal Netherlands Army and has been tested with US Special Forces and the British Army (RAM-SCORE Datasheet).
RAM-LOC is designed to be used as part of a counter rocket, artillery and mortar (C-RAM) system, locating enemy firing positions over a wide area. The ground sensors are mobile, fast deployable, and modular, and therefore can be configured to work in all areas and environments. Typical use would be for the protection of fixed perimeters such as border lines and forward operating bases (FOB's), or for temporary locations such as rest over nights (RON's). RAM-LOC is also suitable for supporting weapon locating radar (WLR), reconfirming targets (as per rules of engagement) and reducing false alarms which can bring base operations to a halt for unnecessary periods of time.
The small size and light weight Acoustic Vector Sensor make it ideal for mounting on small class UAVs, for the purposes of Acoustic Target Acquisition. The AVS mounted on the UAV can detect and locate any weapon noise on the ground, from small arms to rockets and artillery, increasing the ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance) capabilities of the platform. These aircraft typically have a narrow field of view camera so many events can occur out of sight of the UAV operator. The localisation output from the AVS can be provided in terms of grid localisations on a map and can also be overlaid on the video output down linked to the operator, providing a cross hair target over the weapon location. If the e/o payload is on a gimbal, then the AVS can also steer the camera in the direction of the weapon. For more information check out the video produced by Discovery Channel for the Daily Planet show.
