Microflown AVISA (www.microflown-avisa.com) provides state of art unique solutions by using the concept of Passive Acoustic Distributed Sensing (PADS), and exploiting a universal sensor platform (CASTLE). Microflown AVISA offers sheer firmware defined capabilities for:

• Vehicle (crew) survivability, Collaborative Protection
• Counter battery target acquisition

PADS allows to detect, localize, track, categorize and classify all kinds of audible signals:

Firing Events

• Direct 
  •  Small Arms Fire (SAF)
  • Board Canons
  • RPGs and ATGMs (Under Development)
• Indirect
  • Rockets, Mortars And Artillery (RAM) •
• Movement of Platforms (under development)
  • Heavy Ground Vehicles
  • Airborne Platforms

Microflown AVISA solutions are scalable for growth of capability, either by multitasking with the same hardware, and/or by adding new firmware capabilities over time.

CASTLE, a hardwired subarray of four Acoustic Multi Mission Sensors (AMMSs), has favorable SWaP features and works in all weather conditions “while on the move” or “while firing”. The networked based capabilities gracefully vary with the number of CASTLE’s in the network and the available bandwidth. A single, not networked CASTLE, loaded with ACoustic LOcalization Of GUnShots (ACLOGUS) firmware is able to detect incoming direct fire. The ACLOGUS system can:

• cue a RCWS or a camera and
• provide dismounted soldiers around an “acoustic umbrella”.

The Mobile Sound Ranging Array firmware is based upon a network of CASTLEs and, provides valuable information for:

• Target acquisition
• Fire Control
• Predicting Impact

Ground and vehicle based versions are in use by various NATO Countries. To find out more, please contact avisa@microflown.com
