Torrey Pines Logic of San Diego is developing the Mirage 1200, a device that uses ‘eye-safe’ lasers to detect the reflective light of a sniper’s gun scope. Watch the video below. Another sniper detecting system in development is DARPA’s C-Sniper system, which not much is known about.

These are great and all, but they don’t seem to have quite the meat iRobot’s RedOwl Sniper Detecting Robot has: “suite of advanced optics including a thermal camera, 300X zoom daylight/infrared camera, infrared laser illuminators, a rangefinder, high intensity white driving light, and voice communication microphones and speakers, all in a package that weighs less than 5 pounds.” My personal favorite sniper detecting method.
