New Radar Technology Uses Microwaves to “See Through Walls”
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Lincoln Laboratory have created a new radar technology that will allow humans to see through a solid wall by emitting frequency waves at a low-power microwave signal. According to project leader Dr. Gregory Charvat, the technology was conceived with the idea that it would be used by U.S. soldiers in urban combat … [Read more...]
DoD Grants Approval for Production of Battlefield Radio with Poor Interference Test Results
Despite poor test results that highlighted configuration problems and radio frequency interference issues, the Department of Defense granted approval to the Army and a defense industry contractor in early October to continue production of an advanced “backpack” radio that will allow soldiers to communicate on the battlefield. The initial tests on the AN/PRC-155 manpack took … [Read more...]
Washington State Takes Comments on Navy Electromagnetic Sensor Project
Washington residents can submit comments through Sept. 28 on a Navy project that would build electromagnetic sensors on the sea floor of Hood Canal by dredging 1.45 acres of sea floor off shore of Naval Base Kitsap. The public's comments will be included in a formal environmental assessment by the Navy. The sensors would read and record the electromagnetic signatures of Naval … [Read more...]
