Hand-Held Holographic Camera (H3C) (113)
Problem: Develop hand-held radar instrument for evaluation of installed Low-Observable (LO) stealth materials
Project Activity Scope (from Technical Overview Chart): Measurement & Analysis Method Development through Measurement & Analysis System Applications
PNNL Solution:
- Demonstrated that holographic radar data met evaluation need
- Developed hand-held "2-D" radar source/detectors to record data
- Developed analysis software to allow real-time imaging of LO flaws
- Completed integrated H3C system; demonstrate on F-117 and B-2
Capabilities Employed to Meet Client Needs: Rectilinear scanner development for electromagnetic field (EMF) spatial measurements; HP8510 advanced radar instrumentation application; electromagnetic wave modeling (GHz frequency range); embedded real-time computer development; advanced microwave transceiver development; 2-D antenna array development; data processing algorithm development; control and data analysis software development; large area, indoor EMF testing; design and operation documentation; sponsor staff training and technology transfer to users.
