A synchronization time delay due to a time synchronization protocol between a first sensing system (e.g., a radar system) and a second sensing system (e.g., an optical sensing system) is evaluated. A timing validation system generates a signal and calculates the total time delay between generation of the test signal and receipt of a detection notification communication transmitted from the second sensing system to the timing validation system, via the first sensing system. for the second sensing system to communicate its detection to the timing validation system, via the first sensing system. The synchronization time delay is extracted from the total time delay by removing contributions to the total time delay from additional sources. The calculated synchronization time delay is compared to a threshold delay and, based upon the comparison, generates a result validating or invalidating the time synchronization protocol.

Timing validation for data fusion

A method for implementing a web server in an embedded system is provided. Registration information is received at the web server in the embedded system from a plurality of objects. Each object provides a link to itself in the registration information. The registration information is stored in a registry as a list of links mapped to the objects. A web page is dynamically generated at runtime by the web server based on the registration information in the registry to provide a user interface including a visual depiction of the links on the web page. The web page is provided to a web browser external to the embedded system such that the objects are accessible to the web browser based on the links through the user interface.

Embedded system web server

Methods and apparatus for locating a weapon by fusing audio and radar data. An exemplary embodiment comprises detecting a weapon firing event with an audio sensor system, detecting a projectile fired from the weapon with a radar system, calculating a state vector associated with the projectile detection, identifying a location of the weapon by backtracking the state vector to the detected time of the weapon firing event time, and communicating the location of the weapon.
