PILARw Systems
Originally designed to detect and locate small arms fire, the PILARw systems have evolved to also allow for the detection of other threats, such as RPG, mortars, etc.
The PILARw systems consist of 3 main components that are combined to create a number of different configurations each with specific features:
- A foldable Acoustic Sensor Array (ASA) with embedded sensors and electronics,
- A Data Interface Acquisition Module (DIAM) which processes the signal of the array(s) in real time,
- A rugged or military standard PC (Laptop) or PDA to control the system and visualise the results using ShotGuard, the PILARw operating software.
PILARw systems for Mobile use are available in several versions adapted to each platform:
- The new Grid coordinates/on the Move tracking Versions of PILARw as a stand alone system,
- The integrated version, for coupling with RWS and/or BMS,
- The modular version that can be upgraded into a multiple sensors stationary system,
- Fast patrol boats version,
- Quad version,
- Helicopter version.
Regarding base/camp protection, PILARw system configuration is described in:
PILARw systems demonstrators are also available for other platforms:
PIVOT System
The PIVOT (PIlar Versatile Observation Turret) is a rapid deployable man-portable system composed of a pan-and-tilt turret equipped with a day / dawn camera driven by a control unit with a high resolution and high brightness LCD display. PIVOT can be used a stand alone surveillance system or in combination with PILARw. In the later case, PIVOT will rotate and tilt according to the PILARw information in the proper direction to provide an image of the shot origin in real-time.
PIVOT can be equipped with a thermal imager as the Control Unit can manage 2 video channels and the turret allows additional payload.
