Microflown
develops highly accurate and reliable sound source localization systems
for fixed and mobile installations, for protection of airborne, surface
and underwater assets. The company focus to provide complete 3D acoustic
situational awareness within the maritime domain.
Its core Acoustic Vector Sensor (AVS) technology is aimed at detecting,
localizing, tracking and classifying audible threats such as small arms
fire, rockets, artillery and mortars as well as tonal sound sources
of engine driven platforms like helicopters, planes, UAVs, ships...
As a dedicated gunshot detection and localization system for maritime
use, the boat mounted sensor is based on the proprietary worldwide unique
and extremely small AVS technology, measuring directional acoustic particle
velocity. This system has been tested by the Royal Netherlands Navy
on board RHIBs (as well as two other international customers). |
