Weighing under 12 ounces (340 gr), the system gives individual soldiers immediate awareness of hostile fire locations and, when integrated, can also provide unit leaders with shooter grid coordinates to enhance situational awareness needed to coordinate team responses to hostile fire. Advanced shot recall technology is built into the system’s computing technology for rapid after action review or to update bearing and location to a previous shooter’s location while an individual maneuvers in an engagement area.
Incoming shot announcements are transmitted to a built-in speaker or an ear piece while a light-weight display provides range and azimuth of the shooter position. As the Soldier moves, the system compensates for the Soldier's motion and continually updates the threat's location on the wrist display.
The system works in both urban and mountainous terrain, without the need for user input. As with the Boomerang System, false alerts are non-existent. The ability to quickly and reliably identify the location of enemy firing locations provides the intelligence necessary to minimize threats and avoid human casualties.
