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.
