  • Method and a system for locating a firearm on the basis of acoustic detection
    Patent number: 5586086
    Abstract: Location of a firearm firing projectiles is accomplished by using an acoustic detection antenna that includes at least three microphones spaced apart from one another to detect and record signals and time offsets of the signals which are representative of the muzzle noise of the firearm and/or the soundwave emitted by the mach cone generated by a projectile that has supersonic muzzle velocity, and processing the signals and their time offsets in such a manner as to determine at least the direction in which the firearm is located.
