Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for locating a weapon by fusing audio and radar data. An exemplary embodiment comprises detecting a weapon firing event with an audio sensor system, detecting a projectile fired from the weapon with a radar system, calculating a state vector associated with the projectile detection, identifying a location of the weapon by backtracking the state vector to the detected time of the weapon firing event time, and communicating the location of the weapon.
