Article about this in the Telegraph on the 16th Jan.

It starts:

"British and American helicopters on the frontline in Afghanistan could be fitted with new technology to pinpoint enemy gunfire that could save hundreds of troops' lives. Dozens of helicopters have been shot down by small arms fire in Afghanistan and Iraq but the new Hostile Fire Indicator would be a major advance in protecting the aircraft."
