Acoem Secures Critical Infrastructure With Gunshot Detection
Acoem announced that a large North American utility company is deploying its ATD Gunshot Detection system to protect critical infrastructure across multiple sites. Utilities across the United States have experienced a growing number of gunfire incidents targeting electrical substations and energy assets. Even a single rifle round can disable a million‑dollar transformer by puncturing the cooling system, leading to overheating, fires, and prolonged outages.
