A "battlefield" is an extremely noisy environment. I've worked on bots of such nature for a living and while the concept they describe makes sense at a modelling level, their process has very little field application (Dedicated IIR-ESP when you're getting shot at?). As far as pinpointing the location of gunfire goes, you are trained in Target Detection (TD) and have mounted systems like Boomerang on HMMVs. Trust me, when you've been out there long enough, you don't need a gadget to tell you what kind of gun the shot was fired from or the sort of aircraft approaching.
Cool concept nonetheless, I hope they publish more details.

- avner 17y agoallow a soldier to act as an air traffic controller in zero visibility I read that on their website. Having had Marine Forward Air Controllers embedded in my unit, the claim sounds very dubious. Again, there isn't much technical or otherwise literature on this out there; I can only judge by my past experience with the gadgets I used in the military and as a bot engineer today.
