SLC-2 radar can also be applied in adjusting firing of friendly weapons or rockets. With slight modification to software parameters the radar can also be used to detect and track low flying targets such as light aircraft, helicopters and RPVs. SLC-2 systems have sometimes been mounted on a Dongfeng EQ2102 3.5 ton truck.

The optronics of the FLW 200 are located in a container mounted at the right side of the gun, whereas the ammo box is located on the left side. [1] The optronics include a colour CCD camera with x10 magnification and a cooled thermal imager, unlike that of the FLW 100. This increases identification range to 2 kilometres (1.2 mi). [1]
For example, if someone is firing from the rear, the system announces "Shot, 6 o'clock", an LED illuminates at the 6 o'clock position, and the computer tells the user the shooter's range, elevation and azimuth. Boomerang works in extreme weather, in open field and in urban environments, whether static or moving.
