BSS Iguana
The Iguana is a passive acoustic C-RAM & C-UAS system for detecting, localsing, and classifying artillery, mortar, rocket, and firearm discharges as well as approaching UAS. By listening for and analysing acoustic patterns and signatures in real time, Iguana provides passive acoustic threat detection, localisation, identification, and early alerts.
As a non-emitting C-RAM sensor, Iguana provides discreet acoustic monitoring without actively transmitting signals. Its detection capabilities support counter rocket artillery mortar detection, firearm discharge detection and acoustic early warnings, providing continuous situational awareness across operational environments and in all weather conditions

Turn Sound into Impact
Passive C-UAS
Turn Sound into Impact
Iguana features an array of high-sensitivity microphones that capture acoustic signals from different observation points, providing the spatial information required for accurate sound source detection, localisation and classification. This supports passive acoustic threat detection and real-time acoustic monitoring.
The microphones are connected to embedded processing units, enabling real-time signal amplification and machine learning-based acoustic signature analysis. By analysing captured sensor data, Iguana autonomously generates threat alerts and real-time situational awareness, transforming acoustic signals into actionable information, thereby turning sound into impact.

Seamless Integration
Seamless Integration
The Iguana integrates easily into layered detection architectures, operating in conjunction with radar, optical, RF and other detection systems as well as effectors. This enables the passive C-RAM sensor to provide an additional source of acoustic threat information within multi-sensor configurations.
Leveraging BSS’ flexible API, the system can automatically trigger countermeasures upon threat confirmation, helping enhance response times in multi-sensor configurations. This supports its role as a C-RAM early warning system and passive acoustic threat detection capability.
Key advantages include passive operation, high directional accuracy, low maintenance and cost-effective deployment for wide-area coverage, supporting applications such as tactical acoustic surveillance, artillery fire detection and localisation and passive acoustic UAS and artillery detection.
