Abstract
A public area defense system, comprising a non-lethal reactive deterrence defense subsystem, an optical subsystem operably coupled to and in communication with the non-lethal reactive deterrence defense subsystem, and an acoustic subsystem operably coupled to and in communication with the non-lethal reactive deterrence defense subsystem. The public area defense system may further comprise a computer system in communication with each of the non-lethal reactive deterrence defense subsystem, the optical subsystem, and the acoustic subsystem, wherein each of the non-lethal reactive deterrence defense subsystem, the optical subsystem, and the acoustic subsystem are operable to interact with an actor
Claims20
A public area defense system, comprising:
- a non-lethal reactive deterrence defense subsystem;
- an optical subsystem operably coupled to the non-lethal reactive deterrence defense subsystem;
- an acoustic subsystem operably coupled to the non-lethal reactive deterrence defense subsystem;
- and
- a computer subsystem in communication with each of the non-lethal reactive deterrence defense subsystem, the optical subsystem, and the acoustic subsystem;
- wherein each of the non-lethal reactive deterrence defense subsystem, the optical subsystem, and the acoustic subsystem is operable to interact with an actor.
A method of deterring an actor in a public area, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one of an optical data through an optical subsystem and an acoustic data through an acoustic subsystem;
- sending the at least one of an optical data and an acoustic data to a computer system;
- receiving, at a computer system, the at least one of an optical data and an acoustic data;
- processing the at least one of an optical data and an acoustic data;
- determining, at a computer, a threat level to the public area by the at least one of an optical data and an acoustic data to the public area, wherein the determining comprises:
- comparing the at least one of an optical data and an acoustic data to known optical data and known acoustic data stored in a database accessible by the computer system;
- recognizing any matches between the at least one of an optical data and an acoustic data and the known optical data and the known acoustic data stored in the database accessible by the computer system;
- assigning a first threat level to the matches of the at least one of an optical data and an acoustic data based on the recognized matches;
- determining an appropriate response based on at least one of the first threat level or the second threat level;
- and
- upon determining the appropriate response, sending an instruction, by the computer system, the instruction containing the appropriate response, to at least one of the acoustic subsystem and a non-lethal reactive deterrence subsystem to carry out the instruction.
