Abstract
User-wearable sensor arrays for use with projectile-detection systems, and methods of detecting a projectile with user-wearable sensor arrays.
Claims25
A user-wearable sensor array for use with a projectile-detection system, the sensor array comprising:
- a plurality of sensors configured to detect at least one of sound waves and pressure waves caused by at least one of the muzzle blast and shockwave of a projectile;
- and
- a collar that supports the sensors, the collar being configured to be wearable around at least a portion of a user's neck.
A method of detecting a projectile with a user-wearable sensor array, the method comprising:
- positioning a user-wearable sensor array around at least a portion of a user's neck, the sensor array comprising:
- a plurality of sensors configured to detect at least one of sound waves and pressure waves caused by at least one of the muzzle blast and shockwave of a projectile;
- and
- a collar that supports the sensors, the collar being configured to be wearable around at least a portion of a user's neck;
- and
- detecting with at least one of the plurality of sensors at least one of sound waves and pressure waves caused by at least one of the muzzle blast and shockwave of a projectile.
