WRAD One

Following the 2018 mass shooting that had taken place at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people had lost their lives, the co-founders of WRAD One focused their shock into action designed to prevent senseless deaths and get urgent help to the wounded.

They decided to use their decades of R&D expertise in wireless and hardware design to create a gunshot detection sensor that not only exceeds the performance of existing systems, but more importantly, leverages tech advancements that make the solution truly affordable for mass distribution.

WRAD One’s focus is simple: School should be a place where students feel safe and parents should not be concerned about their child’s safety while at school. Teachers and administrators who feel compelled to ensure the safety of their students should feel confident they have a solution that will SAVE LIVES.

Developing an advanced gunshot detection system that can instantly notify authorities with highly accurate information, greatly reducing response times and helping to save lives

The Vigilant Response SystemTM accurately detects gunshots, highlighting the location and path of the shooter within a school, church campus, office building, government facility and a wide range of other applications.
Since 1970, school shootings have increased each decade at an alarming rate of 261% in the past 50 years. FBI statistics show a disturbing upward trend of active shooter events across all types of locations and public spaces.
The VRS system will save lives by immediately communicating with law enforcement, allowing for faster response time and greater knowledge of the immediate threat.
Poised to disrupt a multi-billion dollar industry by making the technology accessible to the campuses, offices, and public facilities that truly value the added safety

Existing solutions in the marketplace are expensive and cannot be budgeted by most public institutions.
The Vigilant Response SystemTM is the first truly affordable solution, at a per-unit price point hundreds of dollars less than the leading systems in the US and is capable of integrating with other security measures within a facility.
The Gunshot Detection Systems Market was valued at $1.2 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach $4.2 billion by 2026.
Leadership team is comprised of experts with decades of experience developing security systems and products, wireless communications, and navigating the private and public security industry.
