Small business qualifier BBN Technologies in Cambridge, MA received a $9.5 million firm-fixed-price contract for “acoustic shot detection and decoy systems.” DID has covered BBN’s Boomerang anti-sniper system back in September 2005; apparently, their initial deployment to Iraq went well.

Work will be performed in Cambridge, MA and is expected to be complete by May 20, 2007. There were 3 bids solicited on Jan. 11, 2007, and 3 bids were received by the U.S. Army Contracting Agency at White Sand Missile Range, NM (W9124Q-07-C-0532).
