Gunfire Locator - Detection Systems Now…
• Number of RMGLs are “in theatre” for operational assessment.
• Improved software and miniaturisation.
• Raised international interests concerning our offerings for static and rotary detection systems
• Networked systems, energy mapping and mapping to enhance operational area security
• UK funded projects to focus a spectrum of acoustic locator research and to develop answers to detect direct fire low velocity projectiles (RPG/Rockets) in complex environments
• Production in place for expected short term and cost effective requirements
• Direct global military and civil interest and dialogue concerning security, stability and overall “Resilience” issues
• Networked capability can evolve to synchronise with C4ISTAR systems and the military and civil “Operational (Combat) Space”
