Acoustic Sensors
Our
ultrasonic imaging technology is a handheld device about the
size and weight of a camcorder. The device works by producing
high-power, coherent ultrasound and imaging the echo reflected
from objects through clothing, walls, or containers. At an
operating frequency of about 70 to 100 kHz, it will be able
to resolve objects to about 4 to 6 inches at distances of
10 to 15 feet. The moving "look and see" image will
appear on an LED screen, just as in a camcorder. The device
will be ableto image the contents of trucks and cargo containers,
including hidden compartments, quickly without opening them,
or even making contact with them.
This acoustic imaging device is just one of a class of remote-imaging
devices that have a broad range of potential civilian, law
enforcement, paramilitary, military, and special operations
applications. Each application of acoustic imaging technology
has different requirements for range, resolution, and size
and weight of the imaging device. The applications may therefore
operate more appropriately at different frequencies.
