MOUT Through the Wall Surveillance Technology Development
Abstract
The objective of this effort was to develop a handheld impulse radar that would detect the presence of human beings through walls in a military operations and urbanized terrain environment. Particular emphasis was placed on minimizing the weight of the unit so that it conformed to an overall ensemble. The completed unit was then submitted to testing. Areas of testing conducted included system testing, EMI/EMS testing, and temperature and humidity testing. System testing was designed to determine the overall performance of the unit, including its ability to detect objects through walls. EMI/EMS testing measured both unintentional and intentional electromagnetic emissions from the radar and its susceptibility to electromagnetic radiation. Temperature and humidity testing determined the radar's ability to be stored and to operate over widely varying environmental conditions. A set of 119 requirements was created from the requirements of the Statement Of Work (SOW), including detailed performance of detection of moving objects through walls, the principal use of the unit. The testing results showed that the unit performed well, meeting 101 of the 119 requirements. The only SOW requirement which was not met was for unintentional radiation of electromagnetic interference. All tests of detecting moving objects through walls were passed.
