Acoustic Gunshot Detection<br />
and Localisation System<br />
<strong>PILARw</strong> is a situation awareness system for the automatic detection<br />
and localisation of small and medium calibre gunshots, as well as<br />
rockets (RPGs), mortars and anti-tank missiles. <strong>PILARw</strong> displays the<br />
gunshots origin in grid coordinates and in real-time allowing to<br />
pinpoint the threat.<br />
Two main applications are covered: The ground deployment and the<br />
vehicle mounted deployment allowing operation in motion. Adaptation<br />
to other platforms (soldier, helicopter, fast patrol boat,...) are available<br />
with custom design.<br />

A Complete Product<br />
Range<br />
<strong>PILARw</strong> and <strong>PIVOT</strong> systems have been designed<br />
with a particular attention towards modularity,<br />
avoiding single-purpose components.<br />
This architecture allows for system customisation<br />
to meet different operational requirements<br />
with the same equipment.<br />
Coupling with additional sensors and/or networking<br />
of sensor systems is available on<br />
request. Integration with C4ISR is easy and provides<br />
Friend/Foe identification for optimised<br />
reaction.<br />
Threat Surveillance and<br />
Visualisation System<br />
<strong>PIVOT</strong> (PIlar Versatile Observation Turret) is a rapidly<br />
deployable and man-portable surveillance system,<br />
consisting of a high speed pan-and-tilt turret equipped<br />
with a Day Camera and optionally with multi-function<br />
thermal imagers.<br />
As a stand-alone equipment, <strong>PIVOT</strong> is an automatic<br />
surveillance system with scanning and recording functions.<br />

The <strong>01dB</strong>-<strong>Metravib</strong> specialists are also involved<br />
in research programs and prototype developments.<br />
Threat detection algorithms for intrusion<br />
detection or border surveillance as well as Unattended<br />
Ground Sensors are in the scope of our<br />
projects.<br />
Coupled with <strong>PILARw</strong>, the <strong>PIVOT</strong> processes azimuth<br />
and elevation data to rotate and tilt the turret in the<br />
proper direction to provide in real time the picture of the<br />
threat's point of origin.<br />
Numerical Threat<br />
<strong>PIVOT</strong> greatly enhances observation, target acquisition<br />
and threat identification capabilities, making it ideal for<br />
a variety of applications and environments, including infantry<br />
units, Special Forces, forward observers, reconnaissance<br />
patrols, peacekeeping forces, security forces<br />
and surveillance of sensitive sites.<br />

Testimony from US Army in External Operations:<br />
"One week after the <strong>PILARw</strong> training, the<br />
unit had the system set up in an operational<br />
high risk area.<br />
Rounds were fired by insurgent snipers at our<br />
soldiers. The <strong>PILARw</strong> performed as advertised<br />
and identified distance and bearing of fire.<br />
Search of location resulted in capture of<br />
insurgents and weapons. No soldiers were<br />
injured.<br />
The unit is very pleased with the performance.<br />
They are looking forward to using the vehicle<br />
mounted version.<br />
Thanks so much for getting this system and<br />
training to our Soldiers.<br />
Catching the bad guys equates to saving lives.”<br />
