New radar imaging chips enable Through the wall imaging or Wall-penetrating radar on Android smartphones
Security forces require effective ground ISR technologies that can overcome these challenges and provide effective situational awareness. One of the technologies useful in such situations is through-wall imaging which apply radio frequency (RF) and other sensing modes to penetrate wall materials and optimally estimate the terrorists hiding in other rooms …

LIDAR proving to be a valuable sensor for Smarter space management, Infrastructure monitoring, Security and Disaster Response
Lidars (Light Detection and Ranging) are similar to radars in that they operate by sending light pulses to the targets and calculate distances by measuring the received time. The key advantages of LIDAR is its superior accuracy and its ability to see through masking items, such as leaves, trees, and …

Carbon Nanotubes to usher carbon revolution for post silicon future, reduce Carbon Dioxide emissions to construct hypersonic weapons s
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are hollow cylindrical tubes formed by rolling a sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal ring, as in a sheet of graphite, either in monolayer (single walled nanotube, SWCNT) or multilayer (multi-walled nanotube, MWCNT) form. Their diameter may range from 0.7 (SWCNT) to 50 naometers …

Meta materials based Radar cloaks to hide warships, drones and fighter planes from radars
Stealth technology has proven to be one of the effective approaches to enhance the survivability of Aircrafts. Aircraft/helicopter designers are making them stealthier by reducing their signatures; viz. visual, aural, infrared (IR), and RADAR cross section. Advancements in stealth technologies, as demonstrated by the very low RCS of stealth aircraft …
