Concealed Threat Detection

MiRTLE 10

MiRTLE 10 is a handheld, screening device that uses a millimeter wave radio technique to detect threat materials or objects concealed under clothing up to 10 metres from the operator. By illuminating the target subject with low power, Ultra Wide Band (UWB) millimeter wave energy and analyzing the reflected waveform, the specific nature of the concealed object or material is determined. Because real threats objects such as handguns or concealed explosive devices present different radio signatures than benign objects like mobile phone hand-sets or keys, MiRTLE 10 will alert the operator only to real threats, eliminating confusion from false alarms. MiRTLE 10 is manually aimed by the operator toward a single target subject. This facilitates, non-contact, screening at stand-off ranges. The operator is simply alerted by a color coded indicator display thereby eliminating any operator decision to make “a threat/no threat” decision. Screening is done in real time, and no images are displayed to compromise the privacy of the target subject.

Unique Concealed Threat Detection

Unlike its competitors, MiRTLE uses a very low power, ultra wide band millimeter-wave radio to interrogate personnel for concealed weaponry. Radio has advantages over passive imagery as this modality is unaffected by environmental conditions and allows a greater stand-off distance. The system produces excellent detection rates for Person Borne Improvised Explosive Devices, handguns and knives. Using advanced software, MiRTLE removes the need for user interpretation and provides an autonomous Threat/No Threat decision in real time. A miniature video camera allows the operator to identify the location of potential threats with ease. Benign items such as keys and mobile phones are classified as harmless by the software.

MiRTLE 30

MiRTLE 30 is a larger, longer range variant of MiRTLE 10. Portable but typically tripod mounted, MiRTLE is manually aimed at target subjects to reliably detect threats at ranges of up to 30 meters. Like MiRTLE 10, the system is entirely autonomous with the operator alerted to a threat or non-threat condition through an unambiguous color coded cursor and/or audible signal. Detection is rendered in real time, with typical detection time of ~ 1 second.
