Abstract:
A computer-implemented system and method of determining the vulnerability of an asset includes determining an elevation surface surrounding an asset. A target point and aim point are selected on the asset and ballistic trajectories are determined for a particular projectile. A plurality of trajectory height surfaces that are rotationally symmetric about the asset and having a cross-section corresponding to the projectile trajectory for the selected range. A corrected elevation surface is generated for each range based on the trajectory height surface for the particular range. An observer view surface is generated from the plurality of corrected elevation surfaces, and is combined with the target visibility surface to generate the target vulnerability surface.
Abstract:
A hardened inductive device and systems and methods for protecting the inductive device from impact is provided. The inductive device is hardened with protective coating and/or an armor steel housing. The hardened inductive device is protected from impact by an object such as a bullet and leakage of dielectric fluid is prevented. Acoustic and vibration sensors are provided to detect the presence and impact, respectively, of an object in relation to the inductive device housing. The measurements of the acoustic and vibration sensors are compared to thresholds for sending alarms to the network control center and initiating shut-down and other sequences to protect the active part. The acoustic sensor results are utilized to determine the location of origin of the projectile.

Abstract:
A distributed control system and associated methods of operating distributed control systems includes an asset management system including an asset monitor, event system and alarm system. The management system is operable to communicate with one or more remote stations disposed proximate to one or more assets. The remote stations include camera configured to detect events specific to the particular assets, and upon detecting the event, storing pre-event cached images and post-event images in the asset management system in directories specific to the assets at which the event was recorded.
