Portable Anti-sniper Device

The Telegraph has an article about a new palm sized device that can determine the location of a sniper as soon as they open fire.

The device, which costs around £2,500, works by isolating the crack of the sniper rifle thanks to four microphones, a GPS system and a powerful microprocessor.

It takes less than a tenth of a second and provides the results in audio and visual formats. It can even send a grid reference via radio to supporting artillery and aircraft.
