Gunfire monitoring system moves from valley lab to Iraq
Called ShotSpotter, the Mountain View-based start-up is credited with reducing celebratory gunfire across the country, helping to track down at least one serial sniper and saving an inestimable number of lives.
This article is an excellent example of how Wireless Sensor Network technology can improve our everyday lives. ShotSpotter uses wireless sensors to detect gunfire shots. When three or more sensors detect a gun shot, it can pin point the location within a few feet using triangulation - calculations based on the speed of sound and the time each sensor detected the gunshot. ShotSpotter was used to help catch the Columbus, Ohio sniper last year and is now being deployed in Iraq.
