<title>Collaborative robot sniper detection demonstration in an urban environment</title>

Abstract

In August of 2003 at Fort Benning, Georgia, a team from the Army Research Lab (ARL) developed and tested a "system-of-systems" that connects Soldiers, robots, and unattended ground sensors (UGS) into a network, in order to increase situational awareness. This paper will detail the demonstration of the data fusion across the network, in particular, acoustic and robotic sensors as well as the digital mapping capabilities.
