Helicopter ALert and Threat Tracking (HALTT)

Program Manager: Dr. Karen Wood

Overview

The Helicopter ALert and Threat Tracking (HALTT) program, an outgrowth of the Crosshairs program, will provide helicopters with a way to detect small arms and RPG attacks, improve their ability to respond, and provide affordable defeat of RPGs or other rockets.  System effectiveness with emphasis on low false alarm rates is critical.  The program goal is to successfully demonstrate protection of helicopters by automatic threat detection of small arms and RPGs, shooter localization, and threat mitigation/defeat.
