Abstract
In one embodiment, a sensor network is attached to a structure and employed to detect and analyze load changes such as impacts from projectiles. An analyzer coupled to the sensors can determine where on the structure the projectile impacted. Coupled with information on the origin point of the projectile, i.e. where it was fired from, the analyzer can then estimate the trajectory of the projectile. The analyzer can also determine whether the projectile passed through the structure and, if so, can extrapolate the estimated trajectory to determine an estimation of whether the projectile has also impacted an object behind the structure.
