Boomerang (mobile shooter detection system)

Boomerang is a special device that can hear loud noises like gunshots and decide where the sound is coming from. It's like having superhero ears that can tell you where the bad guys are shooting from.

When a gunshot is fired, it makes a loud sound that travels through the air like a ripple. Boomerang uses special microphones to listen for these ripples in the air. It can then use math (algorithms) to figure out where the sound came from, like how a detective would try and solve a mystery.

Once Boomerang knows where the gunshots came from, it can send a message to police or other security teams to let them know where the dangerous sounds are coming from. This can help them to find the shooter and put a stop to them.

In short, Boomerang is a superhero-like device that can hear gunshots and help police catch bad guys.
