Patent number: H1123Abstract: A system for detecting the approach of a vehicle toward the line of sight an antenna comprises an alerter for receiving an acoustic noise signal from the vehicle and determining whether the signal is increasing or decreasing. The increase of a noise signal indicates the approach of a vehicle and is used to activate a power supply to supply power to a digital signal processor. The digital signal processor receives the acoustic signal and performs a comparison to determine whether the signal in fact is noise produced by a vehicle. If so, the digital signal processor activates a radar based primary sensor which more accurately detects the approach of the vehicle and determines the instant at which the vehicle passes an antanna of the sensor. When the vehicle passes the antenna, the digital processor receives data and produces an output signal that can be used to activate a counter to count the passage of vehicles, surveillance equipment or to fuse a mine if the vehicle is assumed to be hostile.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 1991Date of Patent: December 1, 1992Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Curtis L.
