There is disclosed a deployable surveillance, security and/or enforcement unit, comprising: a container configured for deployment from a vehicle or by air at a surveillance, security and/or enforcement location; and two or more removable modules having equipment for performing surveillance, security and/or enforcement operations, wherein the container has a housing with at least one opening for receiving the two or more modules into the container. The unit may be comprised as part of a vehicle. The advantage of this arrangement is that it is flexible and can be deployed to meet temporary requirements, changing requirements, and can be easily equipped to meet differing roles. The deployable surveillance, security and/or enforcement unit may comprise removable modules including: a command module; a reconnaissance module; a sampling and diagnostic laboratory module; a decontamination module; and/or a utilities module.

A method for countering an oncoming threat is disclosed. A location in front of the threat is selected, and a generally spherical volume is defined by a plurality of lines deployed from a centrally located communications unit. Sensors associated with the lines are connected to the communications unit and sense presence of the oncoming threat, whereupon countermeasures are activated responsive to the sensed oncoming threat.

The present invention relates to threat protection, in particular a system and method providing active protection using at least one UAV, e.g., drone, to neutralize an incoming aerial or ground threat or diminish or prevent damage caused, directly or indirectly, from the incoming threat.

Systems and methods for detecting a gunshot event are disclosed. More particularly, systems and methods for detecting a gunshot event using the ultrasonic frequency distribution across a broad range of frequencies resulting from a gun's muzzle blast to determine whether an actual gunshot event has occurred and to minimize false positives and false negatives are disclosed. Yet further, systems and methods for determining the location of an actual gunshot event by utilizing the decay of the frequency distribution across a broad range of frequencies resulting from a gun's muzzle blast are disclosed.

Various methods and devices have been invented to remove IEDs and tracking devices from substrates such as the body of vehicles. For example, highly localized heat can be used to denature strong magnets or weaken applied adhesives.

Detection of a trajectory of a supersonic projectile is carried out derived from a plurality of acoustic detection signals. From these acoustic detection signals, two or more shockwave-derived trajectory estimates can be derived. Further, a wake derived trajectory bearing estimate can be derived, from which disambiguation of the shockwave-derived trajectory estimates can be effected.
