Through the Wall Imaging Radar
Abstract
This effort was established to develop a dual mode stepped frequency radar and advanced image recognition processing. The first mode would be used to image walls within a building. This imagery would allow a building to be remotely mapped. The second mode would be used to detect the presence of living people within the building. The task would then continue by working to integrate the imagery of the living people with the imagery of the building. A brassboard antenna array and radar electronics were integrated into a collapsing structure that weighs less than 20 pounds and is small enough to be carried by a single individual. The radar is capable of seeing through walls and forming images of the structure as well as detecting individuals at a range of 40 feet. The brassboard can be used to detect the motion of individuals through multiple interior walls using coherent scene subtraction. The images formed by the radar will improve tactical awareness in operational environments.
