FireSonic
Acoustic hostile fire and air platform detection and location system
FireSonic is a combat-proven, ITAR-free passive acoustic system that accurately detects and locates hostile fire and air platforms. Fast to deploy, lightweight and effective in any terrain, it delivers reliable, discreet and persistent threat awareness.
Key benefits
-
Combat proven
Combat proven system based on French SL2A program designed for hostile fire detection, especially in counter-battery (C-BAT) and site protection operations.
-
Unmatched Dual Capability
The only acoustic system able to perform C-BAT and VSHORAD missions.
-
Wide-Area, Multi-Threat Coverage
360° surveillance over up to 2 000 km², detecting mortars, howitzers, rockets, guns, and air platforms such as UAS, loitering munitions, helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft.
-
Multi-Mission
Adapted to multiple concept of operations (CONOPS): Critical site and asset protection, border surveillance, land operations (counter-battery, air defense, counter-UAS, …)
FireSonic: an affordable, lightweight and passive acoustic detection and location system
Military operations are evolving rapidly, and threat environments are becoming more complex and unpredictable. Detecting and locating hostile fire or air threats increasingly relies on advanced sensors that operate with discretion.
In high-intensity environments, passive systems become decisive for survivability and tempo.
To meet these challenges, Thales provides FireSonic, a high-performance acoustic detection system designed for modern battlefield requirements.
From small-calibre weapons to heavy artillery, and from Class I UAS to loitering munitions or larger aircraft, FireSonic delivers discreet, persistent and accurate detection and localization. Lightweight and rugged, it deploys in minutes and significantly shortens the time needed to detect, locate and respond to hostile threats, and so enabling faster, more effective counter-fire or defensive action.
