Abstract: A positionable sensor assembly for a real-time remote situation awareness apparatus includes a camera for capturing an image of a scene, a plurality of first acoustic transducers for capturing an audio input signal from an environment including the scene, at least one second acoustic transducer excitable to emit an audio output signal, a support structure for supporting the camera, the plurality of first acoustic transducers and the at least one second acoustic transducer, the support structure connected to a base, moveably at least about an axis of rotation relative to the base by a remote controllable support structure positioning actuator, and a transmission unit adapted to transfer in real-time between the transducer assembly and a remote location a captured image of the scene, a captured audio input signal from the environment, an excitation signal to the second acoustic transducer, and a control signal to the support structure positioning actuator.
