NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Sept. 9 (UPI) -- California-based TiaLinx Inc. announced the launch of a new lightweight image-detecting radar technology capable of operating in extreme conditions.
TiaLinx announced the release Tuesday of its new Eagle-5 handheld precision target detector. Developed under a U.S. Army small-business innovation research phase II contract, the Eagle-5 uses high-resolution imaging to detect objects hidden in the ground, walls or floors.
Officials say the handheld device weighs less than 4 pounds and is capable of operating in extreme environments, including in snow and wet soil.
"Eagle-5 development took advantage of granted and pending patents of TiaLinx's ultra-low power beam-forming imager and advanced imaging technologies," Fred Mohamadi, TiaLinx chief executive officer, said in a statement.
"TiaLinx's highly integrated radio frequency sensor design, advanced signal processing and image construction methodology are revolutionizing multidiscipline Department of Defense projects and positioning TiaLinx to be a leader in addressing applications related to user-friendly handheld precision target detectors."
