5G-MIWIS: A TESTBED FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL RESILIENT 5G MILLIMETER WAVE IMAGING TECHNOLOGY BASED SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
Abstract
Funds are sought for a novel testbed to support the implementation, testing and analysis of a 5G Millimeter-Wave-Imaging technology based Surveillance (5G-MiWIS) system, where 5G refers to the fifth generation cellular system. The proposed testbed is based on the novel concept that 5G signals can be used directly as a new surveillance mechanism to assist conventional means such as video camera and radar. This new mechanism significantly improves situational awareness (SAW) capability by leveraging the ubiquitous coverage of 5G signals, addressing the quickly increasing demand for effective surveillance technologies to maintain SAW in many mission-critical delay-sensitive tasks such as battlefield monitoring, public safety surveillance, and disaster monitoring and recovery. In particular, this testbed will demonstrate that 5G millimeter wave communication devices can be powerful lightweight imagers for concealed weapon detection, which has many important surveillance applications. This testbed will also demonstrate that 5G system can function as radar networks for target tracking, which will allow study of both its novel surveillance applications and unexpected national security consequences.
