Group 13 Acoustic Triangulation Device

Johnathan Sanders, Ben Noble, Jeremey Hopfinger

The Acoustic Triangulation Device (ATD) is an electronic system designed to detect the location of a sonic event, specifically gunshots or explosions, and relay that location in real time to the user. Its main subsystems include but are not limited to a microphone array, GPS locator, and real time triangulation software. These systems will work together to determine the origin of any sonic event within a predetermined frequency range. This relative location will be translated into GPS coordinates and relayed a desired remote device. Also the unit will be able to distinguish between which type of gun was fired.
