Israel invents technology to see through walls

The remote "see through walls" device is expected to be unveiled for the first time during a military show in Paris next week.

Camero-Tech , a member of SK Group, is a company specializing in 'through the wall' solutions based on UWB (ultra-wideband). The company has just announced the Xaver LR40 (XLR40) , a portable system that can detect living objects behind walls more than 50 meters away.

According to J Post, this lightweight device can accurately determine the presence and number of moving objects behind the wall in real time.

The XLR40 belongs to the line of mobile imaging products recently commercialized by Camero-Tech. Besides the XLR40, the company is also selling the XLR80 - a larger and even more powerful system that can detect living objects more than 100 meters away.

'We are proud to present the XLR40 system for the first time, a piece of our long-range system equipment line. There are many ways to take advantage of XLR systems, such as placing them inside a vehicle that moves from one place to another; hide behind camouflage nets in secret missions; or placed in apartments or rooftops close to the target location ," said Camero CEO Amir Beeri.

The device's goal is to give forces on the ground an advantage in covert operations situations where tactical teams need to maintain a safe distance from the target. The device can also support search and rescue operations.

'All of our radars are based on radio signals in the ultra-wide frequency band. This means we send pulses continuously and each pulse is in a wide frequency range. That way, we can really break through many physical walls," said Ilan Abramovich, VP of business development, sales and marketing at Camero-Tech.

In fact, the system is so sensitive that it can detect the slightest movements, such as breathing. However, like other UWB imaging systems, the only medium this technology cannot see through is solid metal.

'It is well known that radio signals cannot pass through monolithic metal, this physical phenomenon is known as Faraday cage. Ignoring that detail, we can even see through reinforced concrete, metal mesh, wire mesh or small holes in the middle of the metal wires ," said a representative from Camero-Tech.

Camero-Tech will showcase its new system at Milipol, the biennial exhibition on homeland safety and security taking place October 19-22 in Paris.

More than 1,000 representatives from 55 countries will participate in the presentation at Milipol, including Israeli defense companies Elbit Systems and Rafael. The event is expected to attract about 30,000 attendees from all over the world.
