English: Troops in Afghanistan are using a state-of-the-art shot-detection system to protect against small arms fire.

Scientists from the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) were initially tasked to review emerging technologies to counter the threat. After conducting extensive trials with the Infantry Trials and Development Unit (ITDU), and in theatre, Boomerang 3 was down selected as the preferred solution
