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 sensors are arranged to receive shockwave-only signals. The received signals are analyzed to determine an unambiguous shooter location. The analysis may include measuring the arrival times of the shockwaves of projectiles at each of the sensors, determining the differences in the arrival times among sensors, computing a set of ambiguous solutions corresponding to a shooter, and clustering this set of solutions to determine the unambiguous shooter location. The systems and methods described herein may also be used to determine if multiple shooters are present, and subsequently determine the shooter locations for each of the multiple shooters.

Systems and methods for disambiguating shooter locations with shockwave-only location

Presented herein are systems and methods for processing sound signals for use with electronic speech systems. Sound signals are temporally parsed into frames, and the speech system includes a speech codebook having entries corresponding to frame sequences. The system identifies speech sounds in an audio signal using the speech codebook.

Speech analyzing system with speech codebook

Presented herein are systems and methods for generating an adaptive noise codebook for use with electronic speech systems. The noise codebook includes a plurality of entries which may be updated based on environmental noise sounds. The speech system includes a speech codebook and the adaptive noise codebook. The system identifies speech sounds in an audio signal using the speech and noise codebooks.
