    Abstract: A sensor surveillance system (100) and a method for determining possible geographic positions of at least one assumed undetected target (1a-n) within a geographic volume of interest (200) is provided, wherein for a first point in time ti the following steps are performed: dividing the geographic volume of interest (200) into sections (10); assuming the existence of an assumed undetected target (1a-n) at a geographic position within each section (10); and initiating the creation of a pattern (2) defining at least one possible geographic position of the assumed undetected target, said pattern extends at least partially around the geographic position of the assumed undetected target (1a-n); wherein the geographic extension of said pattern is determined based on: the category of the assumed undetected target (1a-n); and the amount of time that has passed from the first point in time t1. Further, for a second point in time t2 the following steps are performed: determining geographic locations (205) within said geographic volume of interest (200) from where sensor signals show absence of targets; and removing the pattern (2) from the geographic locations (205) from where sensor signals show absence of targets.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for signal processing resource allocation. The method comprises receiving (S10) streaming signal data. The method further comprises, at a first computational resource, determining (S20) a first data subset of the streaming signal data based on a selection criterion, the selection criterion having a contextual relationship with a predetermined scenario. The method also comprises determining (S25) a second data subset of the received streaming signal data based on the first data subset and the contextual relationship. The method additionally comprises, at a second computational resource, analysing (S30) the second data subset using an algorithm based on the contextual relationship. The method further comprises forming (S40) aggregated signal data based on the received streaming signal data and the analysed second data subset. The method yet further comprises outputting (S50) data based on the aggregated signal data. The present disclosure also relates to corresponding systems and computer programs.

    Abstract: A dispenser for storing and launching countermeasures from an aircraft, comprising an elongate body provided with at least one launch opening adapted for storing the countermeasures in cartridges, where the dispenser comprises a manoeuvrable spoiler arranged in front of the launch opening, where the spoiler is adapted to be fully retracted before a countermeasure has been launched, and that the spoiler is adapted to extend outwards in a predefined manner when a countermeasure has been launched. The advantage of the invention is that a spoiler will reduce induced noise from the open cartridges by extending a spoiler outwards depending on the number of launched countermeasures. This allows for a simple, reliable and cost-effective solution.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method 300 for facilitating simulation of a shot from a weapon, wherein the weapon is equipped with a laser device which works on the time-of-flight principle. The method comprises the step 310 of receiving an emitted coded laser pulse sequence from the weapon by a simulation device. The method further comprises the step 350 of transferring a returned coded pulse sequence which corresponds to the emitted coded laser pulse sequence back to the weapon by the simulation device. The simulation device is a range simulation device. The method further comprises the step of delaying 330 said transferring in relation to said receiving so that said delay is perceived by said weapon as a longer travel time of the emitted coded laser pulse sequence and the returned coded pulse sequence, respectively. The method further relates to a simulation device.
