  • Patent number: 11927688
    Abstract: Firearm discharge location systems and methods are described. According to one aspect, a firearm discharge location system includes a plurality of microphones spaced from one another, timing circuitry configured to generate a plurality of asynchronous timing references, wherein data capture operations with respect to the microphones of a first pair are synchronized with one another using a first of the timing references and data capture operations with respect to the microphones of a second pair are synchronized with one another using a second of the timing references, and processing circuitry configured to use outputs of the first and second pairs of the microphones to identify a location of a firearm discharge.

  • Publication number: 20210080570
    Abstract: Firearm discharge location systems and associated methods are described. According to one aspect, a firearm discharge location system includes a plurality of microphone devices individually configured to receive acoustic signals of a firearm discharge and to generate information regarding the received acoustic signals of the firearm discharge, a locator system configured to identify a plurality of locations of the microphone devices during the generation of the information regarding the received acoustic signals of the firearm discharge by the microphone devices, and processing circuitry configured to use the identified locations of the microphone devices and the information regarding the received acoustic signals of the firearm discharge to identify the location of the firearm discharge.
