Active/Passive Pulsed Infrasonic Through-Wall Sensor System

Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new clandestine Active/Passive Pulsed Infrasonic Through-the-Wall Sensor (APITS) system, consisting of an infrasonic sensor suite plus 2-D image reconstruction, to meet the Marine Corps need forsituation awareness and tactical information acquisition through a wall from a remote location. The APITS will have the unique advantages of infrasonic image profiling, passive human detection, and 2-D image display. These advantages arise from specificinnovations: actively pulsed modulation, passive human target detection, and neural network image reconstruction. In Phase I, POC will optimize the system configuration and methodology and design software algorithms and hardware specifications for APITS.Using the developed technology, POC will demonstrate the Active/Passive Infrasonic Through-the-wall Sensor and automatic image reconstruction. APITS technology will have widespread applications in both the government and commercial sectors. It will be avaluable tool for locating people and materials in a variety of situations. Potential users of this technology include the military, fire departments, rescue teams, law enforcement agencies, and commercial security firms.
