how “EARS” WORKS
Multi-Sensor Fusion, Functional Integration and AI Control combine to provide Automated Threat Warnings, Enable Secure Hands-Free C4ISR / C5ISR Operation, Mesh Communications, Augmented PNT in GPS denied areas, along with Database and Mapping information.
Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning And Advanced Decision Making Computational Systems Are Constantly Fusing The Data In Order To Make Real-Time Coordinated Decisions. AI coordinates the functions of these many State-Of-The-Art Sensors.
EARS has an array of multi-spectral sensors fused with millimeter wave radar to provide a 360 Degree Hemispherical View of the Wearer's surroundings as well as Skyward capabilities.
The “Heads-Up Look-Down” Visor Display has an Augmented 360 Degree Hemispherical View, and a Skyward View that also extends surveillance among the MESH of Wearers and Command.
The Skyward View Detects Drones, Airborne Threats, and visibility of surrounding tall structures.
The EARS Helmet provides a Clear, Protective Forward View which will not inhibit aiming accuracy.
Hands-free, Voice Controlled operation, only responsive to the Wearer's voice, enables Secure Encrypted Communications and Control of all functions.
Threat Warnings from Sensors alert the Wearer, their MESH of other Wearers and Command Centers of impending unseen Threats including Drones, Persons and Vehicles.
Radar Threat Warnings Alert The Wearer Of Approaching Vehicles, Persons and Objects Which They Would Not Otherwise Be Aware Of.
EARS Detects Weapons Hidden Under Clothing.
EARS Detects Buried Munitions to avoid proximity Detonation.
EARS can See Through Barriers, Doors & Walls.
EARS Detects CBRNE Threats.
EARS monitors the electromagnetic spectrum for Cyber Threats and spoofing.
EARS detects and reports the direction of gunfire and is unaffected by echoes.
Advanced Features
- A 360 Degree Surrounding View and View of Above, rather than the single forward view of a standard issue helmet.
- Eyes-Behind-the-Head Radar Threat Warning of approaching Vehicles, Objects, Drones and Persons Thwart Sneak Attacks.
- AI enabled Sensor Fusion provides Detection of Threatening Gestures, especially beyond the Wearer's normal view.
- Language Recognition to Warn of Threatening Speech before Harm is Incurred.
- Language Translation allows for Two-Way Communication in otherwise Unknown Languages.
- Hands-free, Voice Controlled Operation that is only responsive to the Wearer's voice, for Secure Encrypted Communications and Control of all functions.
- Multi-channel Software Defined Radio, “SDR” monitors the Radio Spectrum for pertinent information.
- Sensors Include millimeter wave Radar, Night-Vision, Infrared, Ultrasonic, Acoustic and Thermal Detection.
- Detection of Weapons under clothing by use of millimeter wave Radar Processing.
- The Radar is also able to Penetrate some types of Walls and barriers in order to Detect persons and non-visible objects.
- Automatic Warning of Chemical, Biological, Radiation and Nuclear “CBRN” Threats.
- Database access provides supporting information for Facial Recognition, Automatic Vehicle & License Plate Recognition.
- Fingerprint, Iris, Gait, Gesture Identification.
- Detection, Localization and Reporting of Gunshots.
- Monitoring of Wearer's basic Biological condition.
- Wearer's Position and Mapping information including Coordination with other Wearer's and the Command Center.
- Helmet and Vest are made with advanced Bullet-proofing, bullet resisting light weight materials such as Graphene.
- Sensors, Antennas and Solar Cells are Conformal to the device's surface and do not protrude where they could be subject to damage.
- All data is Stored within the device and also Streamed to the Command Center as it is occurring in real-time.
- The Helmet has a Heads-Up-Look-Down Display which will not interfere with Clear forward aiming accuracy or visual focus.
- By looking slightly downward in the visor, the Surroundings, Mapping, Data and other visual information can be displayed.
- Increasing Situational Awareness of the Wearer Can and Will Save their Life on Future Battlefields.
- Advances in technology have made available many types of situation determining sensors, these are Sensors that respond quickly to a wide variety of parameters, operate on very low power and are extremely small and light weight.
- Energy storage technology has made similar advances to improve the amount of power storage at lower weight per watt.
- Advanced Power Management further extends Operational time.
- The data acquired and received by this new Body Worn device is Compressed, Encrypted, Stored Locally and also coordinated among other Wearers and a Command Center to Increase the Tactical Advantage of Friendly Force participants over near-peer opposing forces.
- Computational systems continuously fusing and analyzing the wide variety of information received by the sensors as it occurs in real-time and coordination with remote databases, other Wearers and a Command Center.
- Designed to Endure Extreme Worldwide Battlefield Environments by adherence to MIL-STD-810H for Temperature, Shock, Vibration, Humidity, Waterproofing/resistance, Salt Spray, Sand and Dust.
- Designed to meet High Reliability, Maintainability and Operational Standards.
- Configured to Enhance Logistic Support by including Built-in Self-test to continually test itself for anomalous operation.
- Extended Life Cycle Design, as new sensors continue to improve and become available, upgrades can be incorporated (especially PNT).
- Additional features from other sources that can enhance operational capability are welcome additions to the EARS Design.
- The ability of hostile forces to make use of a captured EARS device is Inhibited by design.
