Fun! 1-2m accuracy is surprisingly good (at least for me who has zero experience with such things).
You could probably use something like this in a war zone to locate from where somebody is trying to shoot you. A quick google later yields e.g. https://www.rheinmetall.com/en/products/c4i/reconnaissance-and-sensor-systems/asls-acoustic-shooter-locating-system https://www.rheinmetall.com/en/products/c4i/reconnaissance-a... or https://transvaro.com/wp-content/uploads/akustik-eng.pdf https://transvaro.com/wp-content/uploads/akustik-eng.pdf (which lists accuracy of... 1-2m).

- baq 2y agoThe landing page doesn’t describe what TAK is and doesn’t even link to a page which does, even in a hidden menu. To everyone: if you make something and put it on the web, please spend 10 minutes to write a single paragraph of introduction for people who just learned that your thing exists.
- Gracana 2y agoThe "about" box doesn't show on mobile. On desktop it says this: The Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK), for civilian use, or Android Tactical Assault Kit (also ATAK) for military use - is a suite of software that provides geospatial information and allows user collaboration over geography. ATAK was originally developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and is now maintained by the TAK Product Center (TPC). There's more information on the About page (accessible via the navigation bar on desktop, or the menu on mobile): https://www.civtak.org/atak-about/ https://www.civtak.org/atak-about/
- hcfman 2y agoInteresting. That looks like a system that uses phase difference. Last weekend I localized an explosion to within 20m when two of the microphones were 3 km apart. I went to the location and they were firing fireworks as part of some religious ceremony.
