At ISC West, Acoem will unveil its next-generation gunshot detection system at booth #7041.

According to the company, Acoem ATD (Acoustic Threat Detection) technology is designed for security professionals, law enforcement agencies and critical infrastructure operators who require a data-driven gunshot detection solution – without the need for multiple sensors.

By processing events on the edge (within the sensor), a single ATD-300 sensor, combined with Acoem’s Cadence software, provides instantaneous camera slewing toward detected threats, enhancing situational awareness for security teams.

The company says that the system’s edge-processed AI analytics continuously learn from the environment, reducing false positives and ensuring precise threat localization.

Unlike other gunshot detection systems that rely on multiple sensors or cloud-based processing, Acoem ATD conducts real-time threat detection and classification directly on the edge.

“Gunshot detection systems are not all the same. With our 30-year history of innovation and battle-proven defense applications, we have continually evolved our acoustic threat detection capabilities,” said Timothy English, Managing Director at Acoem ATD.

“The AI-driven neural network is trained with threat data collected over decades and allows us to continually refine sensor responses for each unique environment, enabling the system to keep improving over time.”

Unlike competitors that depend on multi-sensor triangulation and backend processing, Acoem says that its technology detects both the muzzle blast and the ballistic sound wave of a bullet in motion, allowing detection and location from a single sensor to ensure instant alerts and faster response times.

“Since 1995, our threat surveillance and detection solutions have been deployed to the world’s most challenging and demanding combat environments, earning the trust of operators for their accuracy and reliability,” added English.

“This battle-proven technology became the foundation for our advanced threat detection systems designed for civilian applications.

“Today, we empower law enforcement agencies and security professionals with cutting-edge tools to enhance public safety, providing a new level of situational awareness in responding to incidents of gun violence.”
