research - Advanced Platforms RedOwl Multi-Sensor Sniper Detection and Targeting

The Need:

Identifying the point of hostile gunfire in urban and rural environments is crucial for successful troop deployment, movement, clearance and support. This superior situational awareness gives troops a tactical advantage, resulting in safer, less costly and more successful missions.

The Project:

RedOwl is a project to develop a multi-sensor robotic detection platform to illuminate and designate snipers and other potential threats. The RedOwl platform will include Acoustic Direction Finding (ADF) thermal imaging, laser range finding, day and low-light cameras and an array of lasers.

The Goals:

Illuminate and designate potential sniper threats.
Gather audio and video surveillance in a variety of mission environments.
Provide situational awareness for ground troop movement, route clearance and other critical missions.

The iRobot PackBot 500 with RedOwl Sniper Detection Kit illuminates and designates potential sniper threats, providing superior situational awareness for ground troop movement and other missions.
