Question?
In many cities here they have a computerized system that can pinpoint gunfire almost immediately. Sensors placed on say lightposts and when a gunshot occurs a computer determines where. Do you guys have any such equipment there?
I fuess what I'm asking is how do you determine where fire is coming from and do you respond quickly to it? Quickly enough to find the bad guys oftentimes?

I honestly don't know the technical aspects of the counter-missile batteries here. I'm just a civilian contractor.

I know that the enemy long ago figured out that they could get about three mortar rounds off in one setting before the military vectors in on them. So they are usually gone by then. Our guys do locate them on occasion and either waste them or round them up.

The way I respond to incoming fire is to either duck into the nearest bunker, dive unerneath whatever hard surface there may be nearby or hit the ground. ;-)

I was not close enough in the vicinity of the ones that came in yesterday or today to have to enact my own missile defense "duck and cover" plan. LOL
