Raytheon (NYSE: RTN) brought together the Boomerang acoustic sensor and network-ready Long Range Advanced Scout Surveillance System to support an enhanced countersniper solution for the warfighter.
“Connecting Boomerang and netted LRAS3 is a plug-and-play operation that results in a powerful counter sniper capability, ” said Glynn Raymer, vice president, Raytheon Network Centric Systems Combat Systems. “Combined, these systems facilitate a slew-to-cue capability that places the high-performance LRAS3 ‘eyes’ on the threat, day or night. The sniper then becomes the target with a number of prosecution alternatives available ranging from direct return fire to a digital call for fire via the network.”
