I wonder what the range on something like this would be and how other airborne objects (rain, bugs.. whatever) would affect it.

PS: Also, someone with engineering skill might be able to exploit this thing to make it fire on crowds or assisinate the very person or people it was intended to protect using flying objects, noisemakers or what have you.

As long as your microphones can pick up the sound, you can triangulate. The article says accuracy is within a third of a second . . . That translates to less than an inch at 1000 yards.
Very cool that the Israelis have gotten it out of the laboratory and field ready. But two million dollars a copy? . . . Holy cow! Must be huge . . . truck mounted or something.
