System, method, and computer program product for indicating hostile fire

This system uses an infrared camera to detect the heat signature of unguided energetic projectiles, such as rockets or artillery shells. It operates day and night to determine if a specific position is the projectile's intended target based on its travel path. If a threat is detected, the system triggers audible and visible warnings.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread advancements in affordable, high-resolution IR sensors and real-time AI-driven image processing. These improvements could now make the system more accurate and cost-effective to implement.
