Acoem ATD unveils AI gunshot detection at ISC West 2025

At ISC-West, booth #7041, Acoem, a pioneer in advanced physical security solutions, will unveil its next-generation gunshot detection system. Acoem ATD (Acoustic Threat Detection) technology is designed for security professionals, law enforcement agencies, and critical infrastructure operators who require a data-driven gunshot detection solution that delivers unparalleled speed, accuracy, and scalability—without the need for multiple sensors. Acoem’s Cadence™ software The system’s edge-processed AI analytics always learn from the environment By processing events on the edge (within the sensor), a single ATD-300 sensor, combined with Acoem’s Cadence™ software, provides instantaneous camera slewing toward detected threats, enhancing situational awareness for security teams. The system’s edge-processed AI analytics continuously learn from the environment, reducing false positives and ensuring precise threat localisation. AI-driven neural network Unlike other gunshot detection systems that rely on multiple sensors or cloud-based processing, Acoem ATD conducts real-time threat detection and classification directly on the edge, enabling faster and more reliable alerts. “Gunshot detection systems are not all the same. With our 30-year history of innovation and battle-proven defense applications, we have continually evolved our acoustic threat detection capabilities,” said Timothy English, Managing Director at Acoem ATD. “The AI-driven neural network is trained with threat data collected over decades and allows us to continually refine sensor responses for each unique environment, enabling the system to keep improving over time.” Setting a new standard in gunshot detection The ATD-300 sensor outperforms existing keys that require large-scale infrastructure Unlike competitors that depend on multi-sensor triangulation and backend processing, Acoem ATD technology detects both the muzzle blast and the ballistic sound wave of a bullet in motion, allowing detection and location from a single sensor to ensure instant alerts and faster response times. The ATD-300 sensor outperforms existing solutions that require large-scale infrastructure, offering a more efficient, cost-effective solution for protecting high-risk environments such as stadiums, smart cities, campuses, and critical infrastructure sites. Advanced threat detection systems "Since 1995, our threat surveillance and detection solutions have been deployed to the world’s most challenging and demanding combat environments, earning the trust of operators for their accuracy and reliability." "This battle-proven technology became the foundation for our advanced threat detection systems designed for civilian applications. Today, we empower law enforcement agencies and security professionals with cutting-edge tools to enhance public safety, providing a new level of situational awareness in responding to incidents of gun violence," adds English. Acoem ATD key differentiators Single-Sensor Deployment: Many gunshot detection systems require multiple sensors for triangulation. The ATD-300 provides accurate threat detection with a single device, allowing for greater deployment flexibility. Immediate Camera Slewing: Security teams gain real-time visual confirmation as PTZ cameras are instantly directed toward the source of gunfire. Scalability & Flexibility: The system supports small-scale deployments and can be expanded as needed. Sensors can be strategically installed on trailers or inside the perimeters of monitored areas. Seamless Integration: Acoem’s ADT technology integrates effortlessly with pioneering video management systems (VMS) and existing security infrastructure, minimising deployment costs and complexity. ISC West attendees are invited to visit booth #7041 to view a demonstration of Acoustic Threat Detection in action.

ACOEM to introduce acoustic threat detection technology solution to provide real time threat alerts

ACOEM, a premier manufacturer and supplier of advanced public security solutions, is introducing its state of the art acoustic threat detection technology solution in the United States this year. The solution, known as ATD (Acoustic Threat Detection), uses ACOEM’s signature AI powered technology to sense and track threats to public safety. ATD combines the power of sight and sound to boost a security system’s intelligence using surveillance cameras attached to ACOEM’s signature sensors. Once a sensor detects a threat, the surveillance camera immediately responds by turning to face the threat’s detected location. Threat detection alerts ACOEM recognises the tremendous opportunity their cutting edge technology has to serve and protect communities Real-time threat detection alerts are sent to a VMS so first responders can make quick and informed response decisions. While ACOEM has provided global military security solutions using AI technology for the past 25 years, this is the first time the company is introducing it in the civilian arena. With active shooter events on the rise, ACOEM recognises the tremendous opportunity their cutting edge technology has to serve and protect communities. “Having a sense of security is a basic human need, so we want to use our capabilities for the greater good of society,” says Bobby Darling, Director of Marketing at ACOEM. Active shooter event Partnering with entertainment venues, corporate campuses, schools, and cities will enable ACOEM to implement ATD in the places that are most at risk for an active shooter event. ATD offers indoor and outdoor threat detection sensors. Solutions are customisable to meet the security needs of the establishments it serves. ATD is part of ACOEM’s developing portfolio of security solutions. Future technologies will support the monitoring of public threats beyond gunshots such as air quality levels.

ACOEM releases RT-300, the ecosystem of Augmented Mechanic 4.0 that combines machine diagnostics with cloud-based platform

ACOEM has announced the release of RT-300, the new ecosystem of Augmented Mechanic. The company is developing maintenance digitalisation solutions to help companies better manage the maintenance of their production tools. ACOEM understands the need of companies to take control of their machinery and be able to quickly share reliable information with relevant team members with the aim of making the right decision at the right time. Until now, numerous diagnostic tools and sensors are available to ensure a full insight into the reliability and operation of the rotating equipment. This has made anticipating issues difficult and delayed reaction times. RT-300 ecosystem ACOEM’s RT-300 ecosystem is a mobile and connected solution that simplifies the process ACOEM’s RT-300 ecosystem is a mobile and connected solution that simplifies the process and provides all relevant information proactively in order to facilitate users to make the right decisions. The augmented mechanic’s solution RT-300 is a mechanic’s tool. The mechanic receives actionable information thanks to connectivity and integrated artificial intelligence that gives the mechanic the knowledge and power to make decisions regarding a machine’s health status and to take corrective actions. Integrating machine diagnostics with cloud-based platform The 4.0 mechanic’s solution combines machine diagnosis with pre-alignment tools, and horizontal as well as vertical shaft alignment and cloud-based platform. This set provides a unique solution on the market to reduce the time between the detection of a fault and the corrective action. ACOEM RT-300 is a real leverage for industrial performance and offers a reliable equipment option for controlled production and quality. “Industry 4.0 has created possibilities for ACOEM to develop products that increase the productivity of mechanics and minimise production downtime. Using technology, such as a cloud-based platform, connectivity, apps, and mobile devices, will lead to a shorter response time, and hence faster action to any kind of production failure. We are very proud to introduce the smart reliability tool RT-300 to the global maintenance community. It is a product that takes a technology leap in how maintenance departments will be run in the future.” said Vincent Muller, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Division Maintenance, ACOEM
