  • Patent number: 11282536
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting a gunshot event are disclosed. More particularly, systems and methods for detecting a gunshot event using the ultrasonic frequency distribution across a broad range of frequencies resulting from a gun's muzzle blast to determine whether an actual gunshot event has occurred and to minimize false positives and false negatives are disclosed. Yet further, systems and methods for determining the location of an actual gunshot event by utilizing the decay of the frequency distribution across a broad range of frequencies resulting from a gun's muzzle blast are disclosed.
