Boomerang Sniper Detection System
December 2009: from CW2 Daniel F. Williams, Maintenance Control Officer/BMT with the 1-28 Infantry Battalion: "When you tell soldiers they have to go get new equipment added to their vehicles, there is always resistance. But all the doubts and gripes came to a screeching halt yesterday.... While on patrol with their newly installed Boomerang Sniper Weapon Detection System your team manufactured, one of our platoons came under direct fire from an enemy combatant. Immediately, the system alerted the two gunners to the exact location of where this individual was firing from. The patrol located him, positively identified the shooter, arrested him and turned him into the IP. From Black Lions Command and the Soldiers of the 1-28 IN BN, THANK YOU!!!"
