Standoff through the Wall Imaging Sensor User Evaluation, FCC Certification and Performance Improvement. Final Report.

摘要

This report documents (1) the successful FCC certification effort by AKELA and (2) AKELA user test and evaluation of the NIJ ASTIR system. At the conclusion of this NIJ Cooperative effort, the ASTIR system received final FCC Certification. The FCC certification allows the availability of the ASTIR for LE emergency operations. Its effectiveness will be a function of the building wall material makeup, line-of-site metallic and moving obstructions, and complexity of the building structure. Due to limited user operational testing on complex structures and wall construction materials, it is anticipated that image display information and associated interpretation will require signal processing product improvement. Product improvements will be limited to signal processing and imaging display software - no modifications are required for radar hardware and/or the physical system.
