Gunshot + Acoustic Event Detection

Detect the event.
Locate the threat.
Alert the people and systems that need to know.

GWACS leads with real gunshot detection available now. An Acoustic Event of Interest (AEI) is a sound that has operational significance to the customer. Gunshots are a primary example, while the sensing architecture can support additional approved acoustic event types.

AEI — Acoustic Event of Interest

Autonomous awareness without a person in the loop.

GWACS Acoustic Event of Interest technology has been developed over more than 20 years working with the military. It is engineered to detect, classify, and communicate mission-relevant acoustic events autonomously—no person is required to listen to or manually classify each event.

Tested, evaluated, and operationally assessed by multiple branches of the U.S. military and foreign special operations forces.

What it delivers

Gunshot detection first. Broader AEI where approved.

  1. Gunshot Detection

    Primary public capability for real-world threat events.

  2. Autonomous Operation

    Event detection without requiring a person in the middle to listen and decide.

  3. Event Classification

    Autonomous classification of approved acoustic events of interest.

  4. Direction / Location Awareness

    Direction and location context where the deployment is configured to support it.

  5. Indoor Deployment

    Schools, healthcare, government, commercial, and occupied indoor spaces.

  6. Outdoor Deployment

    Perimeters, campuses, venues, infrastructure, and complex outdoor environments.

  7. Mobile Deployment

    Mission-configured mobile awareness for changing operational footprints.

  8. Vehicle Deployment

    Vehicle-mounted configurations for mobile force-protection and field use.

  9. Mission-Configured Deployment

    Configured around the environment and operational requirement.

  10. Existing Security Integration

    Designed to complement cameras, video management, and systems already in place.

  11. Military Acoustic-Warning Heritage

    More than 20 years of military acoustic-warning development behind the capability available today.
