Radar system sees through walls
Israeli scientists have developed revolutionary new radar technology that will allow people to see through walls.

The radar system, developed by the Herzliya-based Camero company, can produce a three-dimensial image of what lies behind a wall using ultra-wideband technology. The quality of the pictures is similar to that produced by ultrasound and they can be taken from a distance of up to 20 metres.

An initial prototype of the device is expected to be ready in 18 months and could help rescue workers find victims of disasters. “Rescue forces often invest enormous resources and precious time in combing the rubble, or endanger their lives by entering the flames, even if it is not clear that there are any survivors behind the walls.”
