Remote Personnel Assessment

We have developed an approach for measuring critical parameters of subjects in a crowded or cluttered environment that will lead to a high probability of detection and a low probability of false alarms that they are anomalous, and may be a threat. Our approach is based on a LADAR that can measure minute vibrations. The LADAR is eye-safe, and has a range (100s of meters) much greater than that needed for this particular application (35 m). Our design is based on proven components and techniques, but has not been implemented for the very slow motions of respiration and heartbeat. We will determine if these motions can be detected with the desired sensitivity, and then, based on those measurements develop, a more compact/light-weight, low cost LADAR for this applications.
