Name:	ShotSpotter Gunshot Location System (GLS)
Product URL:	http://www.shotspotter.com/products/index.html
Description:	ShotSpotter has quickly come to be the world leader in gunshot location systems. In city after city and on the battlefield, the ShotSpotter GLS has been proven to help apprehend shooters, confiscate deadly weapons and deter gunfire activity that can terrorize a community. What is the ShotSpotter GLS? The ShotSpotter Gunshot Location System utilizes patented technology to detect weapons-fire events over large, complex environments. ShotSpotter products range from systems for public safety agencies and 911 dispatch centers (which instantly identify, locate and give a visual of the location of a gunshot event in an urban area) to fully mobile, inter-networked wireless systems for the military that are capable of detecting and locating many types of weapon events in various challenging environments. All ShotSpotter products are built on the same proven ShotSpotter Gunshot Location System technology. ShotSpotter uses either wired or wireless sensors deployed over areas from one-half square mile up to tens of square miles or hundreds of linear miles. For example, 90 miles of Interstate were covered in central Ohio during the Columbus, OH sniper investigation. The technology can also be used in airports, stadiums or other public ventures. ShotSpotter utilizes the principle of acoustic triangulation to locate gunfire across wide areas. Because of its patented spatial filter technology, ShotSpotter systems are not fooled by noises which sound like gunfire but are misleading (like car backfires, firecrackers, etc.). Similarly, the technology filters out echoes and other acoustical anomalies. Using a continuous feedback loop which constantly adjusts sensor trigger and other parameters, ShotSpotter is able to deliver instantaneous system reports to dispatchers within seconds of a weapon being fired. The unique spatial filter technology makes for a very cost-effective solution: ShotSpotter systems deploy with only 8-12 sensors per square mile—far fewer than the number required by any other systems. ShotSpotter sensors detect gunfire at a range of one to two miles away from the sensors, and ShotSpotter systems have been shown to be accurate to within 25 meters over one to two mile ranges. In addition, ShotSpotter performs real-time spooling of all signals captured at a sensor, to support later detailed forensic and intelligence analysis of events. Such information can include other non-weapons events, weapon type and direction of fire analysis, and even information related to the direction and speed of shooters on the move.
