• Affordable, high-performance, modular counter shooter / active protection sensor system
  • Detects rifle, rocket-propelled grenade (RPG), anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) and mortar fire and determines shooter location
  • Facilitates shooter neutralization
  • Low-cost, high-performance multi-spectral (radar and acoustic) sensors


THE PROBLEM

Providing an affordable, effective counter shooter and active protection capability for low-cost military vehicles.

THE SOLUTION

Crosshairs is a modular system comprised of Mustang’s radar sensor, the Boomerang acoustic system, a remote overhead weapon station, a user interface, a EPLRS (Enhanced Precision Locating and Reporting System) compatible radio, and an active protection system. This sensor system provides 360° counter shooter coverage for both stationary and on-the-move operation against a wide range of threats including bullets, RPGs, ATGMs and direct fire mortars, enhancing vehicle, crew, and convoy survivability. Crosshairs is compatible with a wide variety of active protection systems.

THE APPROACH

Mustang’s Crosshairs system has been developed using modular components enabling the affordable integration and installation on a wide range of vehicle classes including HMMWV, FMTV, STRYKER, JLTV, and MRAP.

THE TECHNOLOGIES

Low-cost, high-performance radar; active protection systems; shooter location and neutralization; RF and digital electronics; real-time signal processing; advanced algorithms; guidance and control; efficient, low-cost tests.
