Sensol has developed a series of seismic and acoustic sensor arrays able to detect and provide location details for such things as artillery fire, rocket fragments and explosions. The system consists of a control display unit (CDU) and the sensor array comprising microphones, local processors, portable GPS systems and a communication module. Sensol is able to integrate more than 1000 sensor arrays into a single system covering thousands of square kilometres. The robust system communication links configure automatically and can also automatically reroute data if parts of the system are no operational for any reason. The CDU correlates all information from the sensor array for display to the user in easy to interpret graphical interfaces including map overlays.

Sensol is in discussions with various organisations involved in aeronautics, military systems, satellite and space technology. In particular, Sensol is collaborating with DSTO on the Scramjet project. In November 2006 the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) and the United States Air Force signed a collaborative agreement to advance research into high speed (hypersonic) flight. The Hypersonic International Flight Research Experimentation (HIFiRE) project worth more than US$54m will see up to ten hypersonic flight experiments conducted over six years at Woomera in South Australia. http://www.dsto.defence.gov.au/news/4803/

Sensol is developing a sensing capability for use in the first two flights of HIFiRE in May 2007. Sensol’s sensing system will be deployed prior to the flights across the target landing area in the Woomera prohibited area. The system will provide DSTO with the necessary detection and analysis capability to identify the impact location.

The project is a collaboration between Sensol and DSTO. For further information email info@sensol.net.au

Sensol is currently undertaking a major research and development program to further extend its capabilities in this area, see research.
