-Caveat Lector- "Sounding Out Snipers" Scientific American (07/01) Vol. 285, No. 1, P. 33 The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is preparing law enforcement agencies for urban warfare by commissioning prototypes of specialized technologies. BBN Technologies, a division of Verizon, has designed a sniper-detection device that will allow soldiers to track the direction of a bullet back to a hidden enemy, which can then be transmitted to a Global Positioning System. The new battlefield technology will use microphones and a helmet-mounted compass, and the device can also be mounted on trucks, airplanes, streetlights, and buildings. BBN's technology tracks snipers at long distance by picking up the acoustic vibrations from the muzzle blast and the supersonic crack of the bullet. The technology is also able to detect the trajectory, caliber, and speed of the bullet.
