IIT Roorkee based startup wins great contest

The competition was hosted by DRDO with their transformative Gunshot Detection and its location estimation system.

Victory

Linear-AmpTech’s victory in the Dare to Dream 4.0 Contest is a testament to the thriving startup ecosystem at IIT Roorkee.

Detection

Developed by Linear-AmpTech, this is a state-of-the-art technology related to Gun-shot detection and its location estimation system set to redefine situational awareness in warfare and public safety.

Its advanced capabilities in rapid gunshot detection and precise localization promise to empower defense personnel, enhance troop safety, and contribute to proactive crime prevention in smart cities, say sources from IIT Roorkee.

This technology, created by Linear-AmpTech, is a cutting-edge system that detects and locates gunshots quickly and accurately. This tech can help soldiers stay safer and even help prevent city crimes by spotting gunshots early, say sources from IIT Roorkee.

Genesis

The genesis of this technology can be traced back to the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at IIT Roorkee. Undergraduate students Parthsarthi Mishra and Akash Jha, guided by Prof. Karun Rawat, began lab experiments focused on gunshot acoustic signatures.

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.

The live demonstration highlighted the system’s capabilities, culminating in Linear-AmpTech’s first-prize win in the Open category: Exploring Unthinkable and Unimaginable.
