BBn technologies Boomerang
the Boomerang shot detection
system pinpoints the source of
incoming small arms fire from the
shooter. Boomerang is available to
u.S. military, law-enforcement
agencies, municipalities, and to
other approved u.S. domestic and
foreign entities. Government
contractors can incorporate
Boomerang into their systems or
platforms.
Boomerang uses passive acoustic
detection and computer-based
signal processing to locate the
shooter. BBn has successfully
eliminated most system false alarms
caused by road bumps, door
slams, wind noise, tactical radio
transmissions, vehicle traffic,
firecrackers, and urban activity.
Features and Benefits
• Boomerang shot detector is able to operate successfully in urban terrain on
moving vehicles
• Boomerang algorithms also suppress return fire alerts: Boomerang is
engineered not to alert when outgoing shots are fired from Boomerang’s
position
• In military environments, Boomerang gives individual soldiers immediate
awareness of hostile fire locations and, when networked, can also provide unit
leaders with the situational awareness needed to coordinate team responses
to hostile fire
Boomerang indicates the azimuth
of incoming small-arms fires by
actuating a light to show the clock
direction and announces that
direction using a recorded voice.
Boomerang indicates the range and
elevation on an leD screen display
on which the lighted displays can
be dimmed.
Boomerang is currently employed
by u.S. forces in Iraq and
afghanistan.
