US Army wants help in developing technology that can 'see' humans and objects through walls

The US Army wants to develop technology that gives its soldiers the ability to'see' through walls. In a request for information highlighted by Netxgov, the Army says it wants help from industry experts in developing a technology it calls Sense Through the Wall (STTW) System. That system would give soldiers the ability to identify important objects like improvised explosive devices or human combatants through sold surfaces, like a wall. The US Army wants its soldiers to be able to'see' through walls using a system that can sense objects and humans to help avoid IEDs and enemy combatants (stock image) 'The intent of this market survey is to identify potential man-portable systems that give the Soldier the ability to detect, identify, and monitor persons, animals, and materials behind multi-leveled obstruction(s) from a long standoff range,' reads the request sent out late last month. Among the system's abilities, according to the request, will be detecting and mapping the structure of'hidden rooms, passages, alcoves, caches, etc. including those underground.'
