20. A method of detecting weapons fire in the solar blind ultraviolet wavelength range comprising;
-
mounting a plurality of sensors and an indicator assembly to the body of a person; connecting the sensors to a directional indicator which indicates the north, south, east or west direction from which a weapons fire originated; processing the signals in a processor to combine the directional indicator and sensor information; transmitting the output of the processor; receiving the signal indicating the sensed weapons fire for display by the indicator assembly which indicates the north, south, east or west orientation of the weapons fire.
