How:

The device operates using advanced algorithms that can distinguish between different types of impacts. When an impact occurs, the Ballistic RF Monitor analyzes the event to determine if it was caused by a firearm. If a firearm impact is detected, the device sends an alarm to notify field personnel. This immediate notification allows for a swift response to potential security threats, ensuring the safety and integrity of the substation.

Why:

The Ballistic RF Monitor is used to enhance the security of substations by providing timely and accurate alerts about firearm impacts. Substations are critical components of the power grid, and any damage to them can have significant consequences. By detecting and alerting personnel to firearm impacts, the device helps prevent further damage, ensures the safety of field workers, and maintains the reliability of the power supply.
