The sniper detection device is only four inches in size, developed in Britain. British soldiers fighting in Afghanistan received a revolutionary new device for testing, capable of determining the exact position of enemy snipers at a distance of 1000 yards (900 m).
The tiny computerized sniper spotter, developed by scientists at a top-secret laboratory in Wiltshire, locates the shooter at the moment he fires, allowing British forces to return fire immediately and accurately. The device measures about four inches and weighs about 11 ounces (350 grams), it includes a dial indicator on the wrist, a sensor on the soldier's shoulder and an earpiece that signals the fire.
The Boomerang Warrior-X is the most advanced anti-sniper device on the market, taking into account the experience of military operations in Iraq using similar systems of the US Army. Over a thousand such detectors have been ordered for British troops in Afghanistan at a cost of about £ 10,000 apiece. If applied successfully, the purchase of the device will be increased.
The product also allows the transmission of data for attacking the enemy by helicopters and army aircraft. The technology for detecting snipers is kept secret, but the unique software allows you to track the sniper even if he is constantly moving around. Previously, a larger device was used in Afghanistan, but now the progress of defense technologies has allowed it to be reduced to a minimum size.
