Non-lethal weapon

• A gunshot detection system can be installed indoors or outdoors and provides coverage in the event of an active shooting attack.
• Based on Installation, Soldier Mounted Systems segment is projected to lead the Gunshot Detection Systems industry during the forecast period.
• Militaries of several countries have invested in systems such as EARS (QinetiQ) and Pearl (ACOEM Group), which are a few types of wearable gunshot detection systems.
• The Gunshot Detection Systems market industry has been studied in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa and Latin America.

• They are arguably our most maligned, misunderstood, and mismanaged native species.
• Since colonisation, Australian governments and land managers have trapped, shot, poisoned and excluded dingoes from large parts of their Country.
• By collaborating and drawing from both Indigenous and Western knowledge, we can find ways to live in harmony with our apex predator.

How are dingoes currently treated?

• In the Northern Territory, Queensland and Victoria, dingoes are managed as protected wildlife in National Parks and conservation areas but they’re unprotected on private land.
• In Western Australia, South Australia, the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales, dingoes are unprotected wildlife.
• This is based on the mistaken belief that interbreeding between dingoes and dogs was widespread across Australia.

Stark contrasts in dingo management

• Stretching more than 5,600km across Australia, the dingo barrier fence is the longest continuous artificial environmental barrier in the world.
• In South Australia, dingoes south of the “dingo fence” are declared “wild dogs” and subject to an eradication policy.
• The existence of an isolated and threatened “Big Desert” wilkerr (dingo) population on the border between these two states highlights their differing approaches.

What do dingoes mean to First Nations peoples?

• Despite the harms of colonisation on dingoes and First Nations, Indigenous people continue to feel and nurture this connection to dingoes.
• Maintaining their culture means fulfilling the general cultural obligation and rights of First Nations peoples to protect this sacred animal.
• The national dingo declaration is clear: First Nations peoples want an immediate end to the “genocide” (deliberate killing) of dingoes on Country.
• The recent Victorian decision to maintain lethal control of dingo populations against the wishes of First Nations peoples is extremely disappointing.

Non-lethal ways to protect livestock

• While lethal methods have historically been used to protect livestock from dingoes, there is growing awareness of their limitations.
• Firstly, these methods have not been consistently effective in eliminating livestock losses.
• It may also alter how successful they are at hunting kangaroos, causing more attacks on livestock.
• These guardian animals establish protective bonds with livestock and effectively deter dingoes from approaching, reducing livestock losses for graziers.

Working and walking together

• We would like to acknowledge retired graziers Angus and Karen Emmott and family from far North Queensland.
• Bradley Smith is an unpaid director of the Australian Dingo Foundation, a non-profit environmental charity that advocates for dingo conservation.
• He also serves as a member of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) dingo working group, which is part of their Species Survival Commission (Canids Specialist Group).

• Medium-range artillery systems currently have the largest market share in the artillery systems due to several reasons.
• Additionally medium-range artillery systems provide more range than short-range artillery systems and are comparatively easier to manufacture than long-range artillery systems due to less technological investments.
• The auxiliary systems in subsystems segment are projected to lead the artillery systems industry Auxiliary systems play a crucial role in artillery systems, contributing to their overall effectiveness, efficiency, and operational readiness.
• The artillery systems market is anticipated to register highest growth rate in the Asia Pacific region in 2023.

• CHICAGO, Jan. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Gunshot Detection Systems market size is projected to grow from USD 4.9 Billion in 2022 to USD 7.8 Billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2022 to 2027 according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets™.
• Based on Installation, Fixed Installation segment is projected to lead the Gunshot Detection Systems market during the forecast period.
• Numerous sensors, including display systems and acoustic sensors, are used in gunshot detection systems.
• The Gunshot Detection Systems market industry has been studied in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa and Latin America.
