A drunk soldier was on a bar stool next to me sometime in the 90’s. He described a system using a much older version of these that could mask the sound of a helicopter as it approached.
The idea has been around for a while, but this guy apparently had figured out a way to build them for a reasonable price. The last commercial version I saw before this one cost $10,000 for the same thing he sells for $1,000.
