Acoustic Target Impact Localization System
ATILS
In peace time, for training purposes, artillery units conduct their frequent target practicing.Both the skills of the gunners and the forward observers need to be improved, their communication cycle to be shortened.Forward observing is a dangerous task during war time, causing a justification to find other ways to localize impacts and adjust fires.Furthermore, the sheer lack of a line of sight, because of topography and/or weather, also thrives the need for other solutions to determine the impact coordinates.

Vehicle Survivability
Both manned and unmanned military vehicles face numerous kinds of direct fire, varying from incoming Small Arms Fire up to high kinetic armor piercing rounds. Especially when under armor, or unmanned, maintaining situational awareness is key.

Counter UAS
SKYSENTRY
The rapidly increasing availability and affordability of low, slow and small unmanned aerial vehicles pose a concern for both the homeland security and military authorities.

ACoustic QUantification of IncidenTs
ACQUIT
In regions with tensions, the cease fires agreed upon along a border line are usually fragile. The global community is often asked to send in observers trying to maintain the peace and to report on violations from both sides. There is a need for well described events in the formal reporting, when, where, what kind of weapon etc.

Counter Battery
This all fuels the need to redefine effective approaches in counter battery, in particular for the functions usually fulfilled by weapon location radars: target acquisition, fire control and prediction of impacts.

Vehicle Based Gunshot Localisation
ACLOGUS
Incoming direct fire poses a threat to the vehicle and, when manned, to its crew. Traditional acoustic systems to detect and localize incoming Small Arms Fire do not work when the vehicle is driving, which is in essence the key to survive on the battlefield in the first place.

Mobile Sound Ranging Array
MSRA
In a peer to peer conflict, weapon location radars used for counter battery purposes will be extremely vulnerable.With aerial/satellite based surveillance available for the opponent, radars will be seen. With electronic warfare means being omnipresent, radars will be triangulated and jammed. There is an urgent need for 24/7 persistent surveillance with (preferably) passive sensors. With mobility being the key for survival on the battlefield, rapid re-deployable, or even truly mobile sensor capabilities are required. Therefore, the traditional sheer sound pressure based sound ranging capability becomes obsolete, as the triangular footprint of the sensor nodes is too large to be installed on a manned, or unmanned platform. With the trend towards longer ranges and “shoot and scoot” drills, the concept of capturing the muzzle blast noise becomes questionable, as the speed of sound is too slow to provide timely localizations.

Acoustic Compound Protection System
ACOMPRIS
Static kind of infrastructure is often vulnerable to attacks by either small arms fire (SAF) or mortars. The objects could be for instance a military forward operating base, an embassy or a post from the United Nations. As attacks may occur all the time, persistent and affordable protection is required. Especially when inhibited by civilians, ease of operations use and maintenance become more important. Often installed in remote places far away from the electricity grid, power consumption is an issue.
