Abstract:

The Army Concept Team in Vietnam evaluated the Acoustic Non-Directional Gunfire Detector to determine its combat suitability for stability operations in RVN. The objectives of the evaluation were to determine the systems effectiveness, reliability and maintainability, training requirements, and vulnerability to enemy countermeasures. The evaluation concluded that the system could detect ground fire directed at the AH-1G.
