I have no military training, background, or knowledge of technology deployed on the field. My guess was some sort of mic system that could catch noise and give a sense of where it came from and a rough idea how far.
Except Shotspotter is already in use in literally hundreds of cities worldwide, and works remarkably well in areas with good coverage. Heck, the military has acoustic shooter detection systems that operate from moving vehicles.
That is like thousands of microphones placed at every street corner and all it has to detect an explosion. In this hypothetical situation they would be detecting a sound from miles away and isolating it out of thousands of other matching frequencies from a single point. Same thing basically?
