Sorry, I am not a gun guy. Why a sound sensors? And is there any communication between the rocket and the launcher itself after it has been fired?

- deny_mdms 10y agoI think the main question is a boot time, hope it is not going to be "please wait 99%"
- shakna 10y agoThe article suggests that the rocket is sound-homing. Something that probably isn't a great idea, due to battlefield noise. Probably no communication with the launcher after firing, so that the shooter can get the hell out of there.
- celticninja 10y agoDoesn't seem to require ongoing communication after firing. The RPi is used to monitor the sound and redirect the rocket toward the loudest thing in the immediate environment(?). A helicopter that is close enough to be firing on you is going to be making quite a racket. I am assuming that sound is used because sound sensors are cheap and these are likely to be fire and forget type weapons.
