Abstract: The systems and methods described herein provide military personnel with a swift and accurate means to return fire at a detected shooter. In particular, the systems and methods described herein relate to an indicator for a weapon sight. In some embodiments, the indicator is electromechanical. In some embodiments, the indicator is configured to be moveable such that when the weapon sight is aligned with the indicator, the weapon points in the direction of the detected shooter. In some embodiments, the indicator is attached to the weapon itself, while in other embodiments, the indicator is attached to the weapon mount. The weapon may be located on a ground vehicle, aircraft, or may be portable. In some embodiments, the system includes a processor configured to receive a shooter's location, determine the position of the indicator based on the received shooter location, and control the indicator to move into the determined position. In some embodiments, the system may provide the location of more than one shooter to military personnel and the location of the second shooter may be provided in the form of an aural or visual signal.

Abstract: The systems and methods described herein relate to an airborne shooter detection system having a plurality of sensors coupled to the body of an aircraft such as a helicopter. The sensors are arranged to receive shockwave-only signals. The received signals are analyzed to determine an unambiguous shooter location. The analysis may include measuring the arrival times of the Shockwaves of projectiles at each of the sensors, determining the differences in the arrival times among sensors, computing a set of ambiguous solutions corresponding to a shooter, and clustering this set of solutions to determine the unambiguous shooter location. The systems and methods described herein may also be used to determine if multiple shooters are present, and subsequently determine the shooter locations for each of the multiple shooters.
