Stop Suicide Bombers in their Tracks

As the female suicide bombing in Diyala the other day demonstrates, the more Iraqi government and security forces take charge and the US takes a back seat to counterinsurgency, the emphasis on offense is going to increasingly shift to defense.

Some folks I met at the Modern Day Marine Expo last week have an interesting system called "Counter Bomber" that uses radar and some wiz bang algorithms to detect if someone is concealing a suicide vest under his clothing.

Here's a short video that explains how the system works...

Counter Bomber costs about $300K, and that includes a computer and software that gives a no-joke "Marine proof" indication of whether someone's hiding something or not. A chime sounds if the radar detects a signature (it basically can pick up metallic objects under clothing) and gives a green-for-safe or red-for-threat indicator as the person passes the Counter Bomber's radar. The system works up to about 150 meters and the designers say it's best to have a couple arrayed so security officers can get a 360-degree view of what the person might be hiding.

Company reps say there are 12 Counter Bombers fielded to Marines in combat: eight systems are fielded in Iraq, including al Asad air base and the busy entrance to Ramadi on route Michigan, and four are stationed in Afghanistan.

Kudos to the company that made these. Shame on the people that wrote this article. Ever heard of a guy named Geraldo, who was thrown out of Iraq after drawing a diagram of a battle plan during the invasion phase of the Iraq war in 2003, in the sand, on live TV, before that military unit carried out the battle plan . . . ?? You just told every terrorist in the world where he/she can find anti-suicide bomber technology. ROCK!!

How about developing a system that isolates people or even cars to be screened in a safe-zone, then detonates any concealed explosive device. Seems like that would have both detection and deterrent value. Just a thought...jt

Very cool. What is the feedback from the guys out in the field? I also imagine that they are able to tune this thing to differentiate between size or make up of an object on a person? Because I imagine the thing would go off all the time if aimed at the common Iraq(all have phones it seems)

Posted by: Matt at October 11, 2008 01:24 PM

Sounds Good 2 me IF viable in the Field.
Radical,
