What's Our Scope?

To have a system that detects a shooter
To deploy a system that deters or halts that shooter
To lower the chance of an active shooter continuing for an extended period of time
To help those that are in the building stay safe or get out safely
Success of this project is defined by having a system that works without failure and to be cheap enough that a school can afford it

Overall 99% minimum success rate for stopping an event after only 1 shot
- Less than 1 ft radial error for localization of the gunshot
- 99.5% minimum accuracy for perpetrator discrimination assuming correct localization of the gunshot
- Less than 6 inch radial error for deterrent deployment assuming proper perpetrator acquisition
- Less than 1% chance of loss of target during tracking once perpetrator is acquired
$400,000 maximum system cost for installation in a school
- (Side note: a 10 year annuity at 8% interest yields $60,000 per year - quite affordable)
99.99% police notification guarantee
Less than 10 second latency between event and police notification
Minimum System Lifetime until obsolescence: 15 Years

Be able to make it small or discreet enough that it does not detract from the natural school environment
Provide collaborative methods to work with current school systems
Be able to trap the shooter in a locked area until law enforcement arrives
To be able to direct people away from the shooter

Project will not harm shooter, since this would be too dangerous to implement
Within the time of senior design, it will not yet be fully implemented in schools since there would be a long legal process as well as company development
Project will not be able to foresee every possible circumstance
Project will not be able to extend to the outside of the building since there is no noticeable method of protecting the outdoors

Must have some sort of prototype by Senior Expo May 2019, preferably sooner (time constraints)
$400 initial budget without being funded by outside investors/sponsors
School budgets are relatively small and therefore there must be some balance between being cheap and reliable (hardware constraints)
Sampling rates/micro-controller clock speed provided by the hardware

We assume this will still be a problem in the upcoming years that needs this product (to be clear: we are more concerned about the problem than the project and we’d rather have it solved than have this project be successful)
Our final product will be easily manufactured and installed at the required price-point; we assume that schools can afford at least the Minimum Viable Product
The active shooter will not know enough about the system to sabotage the effectiveness of it
