Boomerang Gunshot Detection: Locate The Enemy - Coordinate The Response

The document summarizes Boomerang gunshot detection technology, which uses an array of microphones to detect gunshots with over 95% accuracy and provide the location of the shooter within one second. It can be integrated into vehicles, worn by soldiers, or used to monitor fixed sites. Boomerang systems detect gunshots across terrain types and environmental conditions without user input, and provide alerts, GPS locations, and other key details to coordinate responses to threats.

Boomerang Gunshot Detection

Locate The Enemy - Coordinate The Response


Boomerang Gunshot Detection
With more than 12,000 systems fielded and proven in worldwide combat operations, Boomerang
gunshot detection technology is available for vehicles, site protection applications, and dismounted
troops. Boomerang uses a compact array of microphones for passive acoustic detection and signal
processing to deliver immediate and precise situational awareness of enemy location, ensuring
mission accomplishment, increasing survivability, and saving lives.

• Greater than 95% shot detection • Intuitive operation and simple user interface

• Audible and visual alerts provide gps location and relative location • Detections up to the maximum effective range of the weapon
(azimuth, elevation, range) of the enemy in less than one second
• User configurable exclusion zone filters friendly fire
• No false alerts from non-ballistic battlefield noises
• Immune to signal jamming
• Operates effectively in all terrain types and environmental
conditions without the need for user input • Maintenance-free operation

• Motion compensation updates enemy shooter • Boomerang System Integration Kit (SIK) ensures
location while on the move quick integration with any sensor or system

Boomerang can be integrated into Battle Management Systems to provide robust, layered defense across the battle space
Vehicle Protection
Boomerang systems provide hostile fire identification capabilities
for manned and unmanned ground, air, and maritime vehicles while
stationary or on the move. Boomerang gives vehicle crewmembers the
warning they need to get out of harm’s way and respond to hostile fire.

• Provides slew to cue capabilities for remote weapon stations (RWS)

• Operates at speeds up to 95 km/h

• Installs in minutes – no tools required

Individual Protection
The Boomerang Warrior-X system is a lightweight, wearable shooter
detection system that provides a proven shot detection capability
to dismounted soldiers and law enforcement officials.

The compact sensor is equipped with a visual display that provides


azimuth, range, elevation, and GPS location of the detected enemy
shooter. A built-in speaker or tactical earpiece delivers auditory alerts.

• Motion compensation updates enemy shooter location


while on the move

• Operates in all orientations (standing, kneeling, prone)

• Shot recall capability

• USB interface for after-action review (AAR) and system integration

Perimeter Protection
Multiple Boomerang systems can be linked with the Boomerang
Situational Awareness (BSA) software to provide a scalable solution
for the protection and monitoring of fixed sites using hasty set-ups
or permanent installations. The BSA software combines output from
all the Boomerang sensors to display an integrated “fused solution”
of a shooter location on a map, and provides audible and visual
event alerts to its users.

• Multiple-Sensor “Shot Fusion” triangulates shooter locations


for improved accuracy

• Enhanced situational awareness with integrated Battle


Management Systems (BMS) such as TAK and JBC-P

• Various networking and power configuration options

• Simple setup in less than 10 minutes

Boomerang III and Warrior-XP can both be used for perimeter pretection
