NEW DELHI: A startup, Linearised Amplifier Technologies and Services (Linear-AmpTech), incubated at iHub DivyaSampark of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee has secured the top spot in the Dare to Dream 4.0 contest hosted by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The startup has developed gunshot detection and location estimation technology.
The system, developed by the Linear-AmpTech, is state-of-the-art technology, which can redefine situational awareness in warfare and public safety. “Its advanced capabilities in rapid gunshot detection and precise localisation promise to empower defence personnel, enhance troop safety, and contribute to proactive crime prevention in smart cities,” IIT Roorkee said.
The technology was developed at the IIT Roorkee’s department of electronics and communication engineering. The system was developed by undergraduate students Parthsarthi Mishra and Akash Jha, who were guided by Karun Rawat. Under the mentorship of IIT Roorkee alumni Vivek Sharma, Linear-AmpTech transformed the concept into an advanced prototype with the collaboration of undergraduate students Amit Kumar, Harsh Kumar, and Aniket Vishwakarma.
