BAE Systems has released new video showing their new hostile fire indicator (HFI) in action. An AK-47 is fired as a HFI-equipped MD Helicopters MD520 approaches within a few hundred yards. It's not possible from the video to verify the results, but BAE claims the demonstration was a success.
The US Army has been seeking a working HFI system since the invasion of Iraq in 2003. So far, no feasible option has emerged -- at least in the public domain.
