Autonomous Onboard Processing Hostile Fire Sensor System

Triton Systems, Inc., in partnership with Vanderbilt University, will design, build, and test the Triton Sensor for Autonomous Identification and Location of Opposing Resistance (SAILOR), a hostile fire indicator mountable to Group 1 unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) and self-guiding target munitions. The Triton SAILOR uses a combination of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) optoelectronic components, CMOS fabrication-compatible metalenses, and robust hostile fire detection algorithms to reduce the size, weight, and power (SWAP) and cost compared to state-of-the-art systems. By having the unique ability to be deployed on smaller payload UAVs, the Triton SAILOR allows warfighters to locate enemy threats more readily and counter them more effectively.
