>> Acoustic Gunshot Detection and Localisation System

PILARw is a situation awareness system for the automatic detection and localisation of small calibre gunshots, with the capability to perform as well for rockets (RPGs), mortars and anti-tank missiles. On the PILARw display, gunshots origin is pinpointed in 3D and in real-time. Two main applications are covered: The ground deployment and the vehicle mounted deployment allowing operation in motion. Adaptation to other platforms (soldier, helicopter, ...) are currently under development.

>> Threat Surveillance and Visualisation System

As a stand-alone equipment, PIVOT (PIlar Versatile Observation Turret) is an automatic surveillance system with scanning and recording functions. Coupled with PILARw, the PIVOT processes azimuth and elevation data to rotate and tilt the turret in the proper direction in order to provide, in real time, a picture of the threat's point of origin. PIVOT greatly enhances observation, target acquisition and threat identification capabilities, making it ideal for a variety of applications and environments, including infantry units, Special Forces, forward observers, reconnaissance patrols, peacekeeping forces, security forces and surveillance of sensitive sites.

>> A Complete Product Range

PILARw and PIVOT systems have been designed with a particular attention towards modularity, avoiding single-purpose components. This architecture allows for system customisation to meet different operational requirements with the same equipment. Coupling with additional sensors and/or networking of sensor systems is available on request.

>> Testimony from US Army in External Operations

"One week after the PILARw training, the unit had the system set up in an operational high risk area. Rounds were fired by insurgent snipers at our soldiers. The PILARw performed as advertised and identified distance and bearing of fire. Search of location resulted in capture of insurgents and weapons. No soldiers were injured. The unit is very pleased with the performance. They are looking forward to using the vehicle mounted version. Thanks so much for getting this system and training to our Soldiers."

Catching the bad guys equates to saving lives.
