Abstract:

This paper presents a concept on how a military formation can be jointly protected by linking available single-platform protection systems. To achieve this, a mobile ad hoc network is established between different vehicles carrying heterogeneous sensors, specifically acoustic and ESM sensors, emulating the protection systems. Distributed data fusion is applied to provide a situation overview for localizing a threat. To substantiate the concept, results from field tests regarding network, sensor, and data fusion functionality are presented.

I. Introduction

Protection of personnel and platforms of armed land forces during missions gains more and more importance. A possible approach to strengthen safety is to equip military vehicles with automatic protection systems. These systems provide data which lead to automatic or semi-automatic countermeasures by triggering different kinds of effectors. Usually, these systems are self-contained and often do not provide an interface to use the data externally. Thus, they only affect a single, the own, platform.
