Project MUSAS
Multi Sensor Anti Sniper System
Joint Investment Programme on Force Protection Call: "Collective Survivability" A-0223-RT-GC
Project implementation period: 02.2008-07.2010
Coordinator: MV Aerospace and Defence, Spain
The main objective of this project is to research different technologies as well as to provide an enhancement of a sniper detection (acoustic and radar sensors, image processing, enhancement of data fusion, inclusion of intelligence information, human machine interfac). Another objective is to obtain a real-time reliable estimation of the sniper position before the first shot and disseminate this information in a properly manner optimizing the resources for neutralization.
The project will assess different scenarios (military base, convoy and dismounted soldier) and platforms (fixed, wearable, vehicle mounted). It is envisioned to develop a laboratory demonstrator which will show the feasibility of the system and its integration with in future soldier programmes. The implementation of system will contribute incrementation of safety especially, soldiers of infantry patrolling given action field.
