US12292262 - System and method for securing a risky geographical area

A method for securing a geographical area encompassing a route. A map of the area is obtained. A weapon is associated with a firing modeling consisting of a probability model of hitting its target when shooting, as a function of the firing distance. Positions of potential shelters of threats on the map are determined by using a trained artificial intelligence device. The modeling is applied for each weapon and potential shelter while relating the shots to the route and summing all the probabilities of hitting its target on each portion of the route. The potential shelters most likely to constitute attack threats along the route are determined. A path is defined in order to address these potential shelters most likely to constitute attack threats.

The patent describes a method for securing a geographical area along a route by utilizing a map and artificial intelligence to identify potential threat shelters and assess the probability of hitting targets with selected weapons. It involves defining a path for an addressing unit to neutralize these threats based on the calculated probabilities of successful engagement.

Claim 1

  1. A method for securing a geographical area encompassing a route, the method comprising the following steps: obtaining a map of the geographical area encompassing said route; selecting at least one weapon, each weapon being associated with at least one firing modeling comprising a probability model of hitting a target when shooting, as a function of a firing distance; determining positions of potential shelters of threats on the map by using a trained artificial intelligence device; executing the at least one firing modeling for each selected weapon and each potential threat shelter while relating shots to the route, and storing and summing all probabilities of each selected weapon hitting the target on each portion of the route; identifying potential shelters most likely to constitute attack threats along the route by determining the portions of the route that have a probability of hitting the target higher than a determined threshold and by selecting the potential shelters contributing most thereto; defining and providing at least one path intended for at least one addressing unit, said at least one path being determined in order to neutralize said potential shelters most likely to constitute attack threats; and securing the geographical area encompassing the route by instructing the at least one addressing unit to follow the at least one path, wherein the at least one addressing unit follows the at least one path. obtaining a map of the geographical area encompassing said route; selecting at least one weapon, each weapon being associated with at least one firing modeling comprising a probability model of hitting a target when shooting, as a function of a firing distance; determining positions of potential shelters of threats on the map by using a trained artificial intelligence device; executing the at least one firing modeling for each selected weapon and each potential threat shelter while relating shots to the route, and storing and summing all probabilities of each selected weapon hitting the target on each portion of the route; identifying potential shelters most likely to constitute attack threats along the route by determining the portions of the route that have a probability of hitting the target higher than a determined threshold and by selecting the potential shelters contributing most thereto; defining and providing at least one path intended for at least one addressing unit, said at least one path being determined in order to neutralize said potential shelters most likely to constitute attack threats; and securing the geographical area encompassing the route by instructing the at least one addressing unit to follow the at least one path, wherein the at least one addressing unit follows the at least one path.
