Abstract: A set of sensors and accompanying method(s) that permit the rapid and reliable determination of the type of object sensed within a surveillance area thereby allowing accurate, real-time threat assessment and associated action(s). The set of sensors (or multisensor) deployed with the surveillance area may include E-Field sensors, B-Field sensors and Acoustic sensors that provide sensor specific characteristics of an object which—when processed according to our data fusion method(s)—produces higher order information such as the ability to accurately differentiate between humans, humans not carrying magnetic materials, humans carrying magnetic materials (such as firearms), and vehicles—both armored and unarmored.
