摘要： The systems and methods described herein relate to an airborne shooter detection system having a plurality of sensors coupled to the body of an aircraft such as a helicopter. The system includes at least five sensors configured and arranged to disambiguate the location of a shooter. By measuring the arrival times of the shockwaves of projectiles at each of the sensors and determining the differences in the arrival times among sensors, the systems and methods may determine the location of one or more sources of the projectiles. A distance of at least ten meters separates two or more of the sensors. Such a separation is advantageous because it allows the system to disambiguate multiple shooters by resolving the curvature of the shockwave.
