The system uses the technology used in the vehicle-mounted Boomerang III system and delivers alerts through an earpiece and provides details of the shooter location on a matchbox-sized display.
BBN Technologies is a wholly owned subsidiary of Raytheon Company and over 5,000 Boomerang III systems have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
