Well it gets my attention! I have read about anti mortar tech based on radar which would reveal the source location, I don't know if this anti sniper system is strictly sound based, radar, microwave or what.

That's been around for a long while, and it's called "counterbattery radar." The view isn't the old round radar scope; instead, a bright light highlights the map grid from whence the round came. Mortars pose their own unique problems, but the principle's the same.

Incidentally, we even have man-portable jammers to defeat proximity fuses (they make the round detonate early).
