Development of IoT & cloud platforms, together with smarter, quicker, and more affordable AI engines, has, according to the findings, made it possible to develop a new generation of indoor gunshot detection technology. The latest wave of gunshot detection technology is redefining the cost of system hardware, sensors, software, installation fees, and monitoring services. In June 2022, Israel Aerospace Industries has unveiled the Othello-P, its newest advanced passive gunshot detection system (GDS) technology.

The process utilises short-wave infrared optical and acoustic sensors, as well as artificial intelligence analysis, to pinpoint the origin of gunfire. It can be employed in place or fastened onto manned vehicles or unmanned systems for on-the-move missions. Therefore, the adoption of advanced technology by the public and private players in these systems is driving market growth.

Further, the cloud, which offers a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model with the minimal fees & affordable fees, makes strong mobile & web-based management software. The advancement of market technology has made it possible for businesses to purchase gunfire detection devices. Gunfire detectors employ active shooter technology strategy, owing to their potential of saving lives.
