Radar Identification of Hostile Fire by Means of the Electromagnetic Complex Natural Resonances of Projectiles

Abstract: The authors discuss and demonstrate the feasibility of using ultra wide band microwave radar to detect and identify small arms fire. Detection and tracking is by standard radar techniques, but identification is carried out by exciting the projectiles Complex Natural Resonances and using this aspect independent information to assign a caliber to the incoming projectiles. The typical sizes of small arms projectiles (calibers 5.56 mm through to 13 mm) imply that ultra wide band illumination in the microwave regio… Show more

“…A compact 94 GHz FMCW radar system has been presented, but at 94 GHz the frequency is still in the Mie-region of handgun calibers. In contrast to [13] we believe that the 240 GHz frequency range is more suitable for HFI radar applications. However we are at the beginning of this research and still some work has to be done.…”
