Radar looks through the wall

Appeared on the Iraq battlefield since 2006, the radial-looking radar devices such as Prism, Xaver400 . have been improved and developed.

Up to now, improved through-wall viewing devices have improved the processing quality, produced images after the wall faster (speed), more accurately (see more details) and reliability thanks to the resistance. Resistant to dust, water and strong impact.

Change the action in the city

In 2006, for the first time, the US military introduced the Vision radar system to serve as a combat operation for soldiers at the battlefield of Iraq, especially in urban areas.

Using the same technology as night vision glasses, Vision helps soldiers to see through almost all types of walls, except metal walls. In fact, the device weighs only 3 kg can see through walls 30 cm thick (made of bricks, cement, stone) and can see through many layers of walls.

Equipped with 90-minute battery operation, this device can give good quality images if the people behind the wall move.

The Prism 200 device can transfer the received data to a netbook with 2D and 3D images.

The US military also equipped Vision for some combat robots. In particular, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using this radar system will help to observe more quickly and comprehensively.

Two years later, many advanced radar systems appeared, the minor being RadarVision 2 and Xaver400, with similar features.

The Xaver weighs about 3 kg, can see through non-metallic walls within a distance of 20 m, with batteries running for 2.5 hours. Another feature is to transfer images to another display device a few hundred meters away. The price of these two types is between 20,000-30,000 USD / unit.

Currently, the United States introduced the most advanced technology of the Prism Iraqi battlefield, weighing only 5.6 kg, using a battery of 8 hours and a range of 20 m. This device is convenient for light operation in raids, attacks on armed groups in urban areas and many houses.

Prism tried to minimize its size (always less than 6 kg) to ensure compact, portable.

The police force uses a machine to see through the wall to know the quantity
objects in the house.

Civil applications

In addition to the military version, the manufacturer added a Prism 200 device, which was used by police, task forces or hostage rescue teams, to find victims in earthquakes and firefighters.

With a screen resolution of 640 x 480, displaying 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional color images, this device is capable of detecting people in about 20m.

Its size is equivalent to a briefcase, 450 mm long, 305 mm wide and 210 mm thick with a total battery weight of 5.7 kg. Power helps Prism 200 run for 4 hours continuously, while in standby mode is 24 hours.

Not only the army, many police headquarters around the world buy this device to detect suspicious objects in houses before proceeding to attack, ensuring absolute safety for the force.

In addition to the United States, in August 2010, Russia also announced the final test of the Dannik-5 radar wall detector, with the ability to detect people, animals after concrete walls, brick stones . with a distance of 5 m.

With 2 breathing and motion detection modes, this device takes only 5 to 10 seconds to detect people hiding behind walls. The other purpose of the system is to use to save victims in collapsing houses .
