EARS Sniper Detector To Be Deployed

QinetiQ North America's Technology Solutions Group has announced a $9.95 million order from the US Army's Rapid Equipping Force (REF) for SWATS Soldier-Wearable Acoustic Targeting Systems. Part of the Ears Gunshot Localization System product family, SWATS soldier-worn units will be deployed to US Army troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan this year.

The deployment, expected to be complete by early next year, will also include QinetiQ North America personnel to provide training and field support.

This is the US Army's first large-scale deployment of any soldier-wearable gunshot and sniper detection solution.
