Non-Lethal weapons Sticky Foam


At the Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, New Mexico, project engineers have been working on a different type of restraint system: a foam so sticky it can literally stop a suspect in his tracks. The foam is delivered from a specially-developed dispenser that is carried in a shoulder sling. When fired, it ejects the sticky foam from the dispenser's cylinder.

Variety of problems have been found with Sticky Foam:

It can be lethal if sprayed toward the face, causing immediate suffocation. However the foam could be useful for denying access to certain rooms or corridors, as in the case of a drug raid or a prison riot.
Currently there are no "antidote", while the foam is non-toxic, the solvents that unstuck a person are potentially toxic, and so far, no totally safe and effective solvent has been found. The other alternative is to cut the individual out of their clothing with a pair of scissors

Defense & Security - monitor air in stadiums

Remote sensing systems monitor air in stadiums

Roland Harig and Joern Gerhard

During the FIFA soccer World Cup, scanning imaging infrared remote sensing systems identified and located various gases in the air over public areas.
The German ministry of the interior has established task forces for the analysis of released chemicals in the case of fires, chemical accidents, terrorist attacks, or war. In these cases, information about the released compounds is required immediately in order to take appropriate measures to protect workers, residents, emergency response personnel at the site of the release, and the environment.

The analytical task forces are equipped with mobile systems that apply analytical methods such as gas chromatography/mass spectrometry1 (GC/MS) and ion mobility spectrometry. In addition they are equipped with sensors such as photoionization detectors and a hand-held system containing a combination of sensors, the portable gas detector array2 (GDA 2). However, all these methods require the collection of a sample, which may be dangerous, time-consuming, and difficult, for example in case of a terrorist attack in a stadium or a crowded public place. In contrast, remote sensing by infrared spectrometry allows identification of hazardous clouds from long distances. The analytical task forces, based in four German cities, were equipped with scanning infrared gas-imaging systems (SIGIS3,4). During the FIFA soccer World Cup, these systems were used for surveillance of stadiums and public viewing areas, where large crowds watched the games.

SIGIS 2
SIGIS 2 is a scanning imaging remote-sensing system based on the combination of an infrared spectrometer with a single detector element and a scanning system (see Figure 1). In order to align the field of view and to scan the field of regard, the system is equipped with a rotating head containing an azimuth-elevation scanning mirror. The measurement scene is recorded by a video camera and displayed on a PC.



Figure 1. Left: SIGIS 2 combines an infrared spectrometer and a scanning system. Right: The image of a cloud of ammonia emitted by a stack appears in the video display.
To visualize gas clouds, the rotating head is kept at a fixed position and the scanning mirror is sequentially set to all positions within the field of regard. The operator may define this field of regard interactively using the displayed video image and the mouse. Each spectrum is analyzed by an automatic identification and quantification algorithm and the results are visualized in the video, overlaid by false-color images. This direct display of the cloud in the video allows simple assessment of the position and the size of the cloud, as you can see in Figure 1.

Measurements during the World Cup
During the World Cup, five SIGIS 2 systems were deployed. In addition to the four systems used by the task forces, we at Hamburg University of Technology operated our own system within our home city.

The surveillance of the Olympic stadium in Berlin was performed from one of the towers of the stadium (see Figure 2). During various games, ammonia was identified. There are several possible sources of ammonia in the stadium. One is the football field, because fertilizers may contain ammonia. It could also have evaporated from cleaning agents that are used to clean the stadium. In addition to ammonia, ethanol was identified in the stadium during the World Cup. Ethanol evaporates from alcoholic beverages and is exhaled by the spectators, who consume alcoholic beverages before or during the game.



Figure 2. Monitoring of the air in the Olympic stadium in Berlin using SIGIS 2
In Stuttgart, SIGIS was used to monitor the public viewing area in the center of the city. Ethanol was identified in multiple directions (see Figure 3). As in the stadium, alcoholic beverages consumed by the spectators are the source of ethanol.



Figure 3. The locations in which ethanol was identified in this public viewing area are indicated by the overlay of red squares.
In Hamburg, sulfur hexafluoride and ammonia were identified and located in and near the public viewing area, which is illustrated in Figure 4. In addition, methanol was identified near an incineration plant.



Figure 4. Surveillance of the public viewing area in Hamburg using SIGIS 2
Conclusions
Five SIGIS 2 systems were employed for surveillance of public areas during the FIFA World Cup. Although no intentional or accidental releases of hazardous gases occurred in the stadiums and in the public viewing areas, the systems proved their effectiveness by identifying and locating various gases in the air.

This work was supported by the German civil defense agency BBK. The authors thank the BBK, in particular Karin Braun, Bernhard Preuss, Roman Trebbe, and Udo Bachmann for their cooperation.

In summary: Ever-advancing computer processing power and the
conversion of Cold War defense industries to other purposes have
produced new technologies which improve upon the ability of x-ray
machines and magnetometers to detect weapons. The most intriguing
of these technologies is called millimeter-wave imaging (MMWI),
which could give law enforcement officers the ability to see
through walls and clothing to detect the location of concealed
objects, including weapons. MMWI uses a device similar to an
infrared camera to produce images of objects by detecting invisible
radiation given off in the region of the electromagnetic spectrum
between infrared and microwaves. This radiation, called millimeter
waves due to its wavelength, includes the frequencies of 30 to
300 GHz, and can pass through many common materials. A millimeter-
wave imager contains an array of microscopic antennas formed onto
a chip called an MMIC (for monolithic microwave integrated circuit).
Acting like film in a camera, or the CCD chip in an ordinary
camcorder, millimeter waves are focused onto the MMIC through
lenses, and the image produced by the detector can then be
displayed on a video screen. Originally developed to enable
soldiers (and their computerized weapons systems) to see through
the dust and smoke of battle, and used by astronomers to see
through the clouds of galactic dust between the stars, similar
detectors are beginning to be used in collision avoidance radars
to enable truck drivers and other motorists to see through fog,
rain, and gloom of night.
There are two types of millimeter-wave "radars" being proposed
as additions to the crime-fighting arsenal. The "passive" version
simply images the natural millimeter-wave radiation produced by
warm objects like the human body, and uses the difference between
the millimeter-wave emissions of the body and the lower emissions
transmitted by contraband or weapons, detecting the "darker" objects
that "eclipse" the radiation coming from the body. Due to the
effects of the atmosphere, passive MMWI is limited to a range of
3 meters (about 10 feet). "Active" millimeter-wave imaging combines
a source of millimeter-wave energy with the detector, and works much
like radar, "illuminating" the area to be searched with millimeter
waves, and then imaging the reflected waves. The active version
has a range of 30 meters (90 feet) or more, and could be used to
covertly "frisk" a crowd of people. Though MMWI can see through
clothing, or other materials which transmit millimeter waves but
look opaque to visible light, the resolution is presently not high
enough to reveal intimate anatomical details. Understandably, this
technology has raised Constitutional questions about the Fourth
Amendment right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure.
Manufacturers of MMWI devices argue that they can be configured
to only display an image if suspicious objects are detected,
thus meeting the criteria for "reasonableness," much as the
sensitive nose of a police dog can be used as pretext for a
physical search. However, police dogs don't have the ability to
search a crowd of people from 90 feet away.
Objects which have a high moisture content are difficult for
the MMWI to see through, since water absorbs microwave energy at
frequencies close to those used in MMWI. (Indeed an ordinary
microwave oven works by heating up the water molecules in food
using frequencies about 12 times lower.) MMWI "stealthy" materials
having similar dielectric constants to the body (such as a holster
containing circulating layers of warm water) might be able to
conceal weapons from a passive MMWI scan, or even an active scan
at long range, if resolution is poor. But other technologies could
detect even such MMWI "shielded" weapons, so long as the weapons
have a certain amount of metallic content. (Certain items of
contraband, such as illegal drugs, since they lack metallic content
entirely, will be able to slip by undetected if properly shielded.)
Other weapon detection schemes are on the horizon which, while
they will not be able to detect non-metallic weapons like MMWI can,
will enhance existing abilities to detect metallic weapons. One
system being developed uses an electromagnetic pulse, called a
Heaviside pulse, which induces metal objects to emit characteristic
radio "signatures," and can (theoretically) be used from a distance.
Another system is designed to detect the deviations in the Earth's
magnetic field caused by the presence of metallic objects, and
works like a walk-through metal detector, but can localize and
to some extent "count" the number of possible weapons being carried
on a person.

Prisons product - detect and locate hidden contraband cell phones.
http://www.research-electronics.com/cgi-bin/main.cgi?action=view&ct=news#1070820212532422

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Georgia Department of Corrections Implements ORION NLJD to Locate Hidden Contraband Cellular Phones in Correctional Facilities…
Algood, Tennessee -- August 20, 2007 – Cellular phones continue to be one of the most dangerous forms of prison contraband, allowing inmates to bypass internal security measures creating a security risk that can reach beyond prison walls. Correctional authorities have indicated that cellular phones have become more valuable inside a prison than drugs or other contraband, and are often referred to as the new prison cash because inmates can sell minutes or cellular phone use to other inmates.
To combat the contraband cell phone issue, the Georgia Department of Corrections recently implemented ORION Non-Linear Junction Detectors to detect and locate contraband cell phones. The ORION Non-Linear Junction Detector (NLJD) manufactured by REI in Algood Tennessee USA, detects electronic components allowing the user to detect and locate hidden electronic items (such as hidden cellular phones), even if the electronic item is turned off or not transmitting.
Feedback from the Georgia Department of Corrections has been very positive indicating that they have located multiple contraband cell phones as well as other electronic contraband using the ORION.
Tom Jones, General Manager of REI, responded by stating that “REI is very excited to be assisting the corrections market in addressing the security threats posed by contraband cellular phones. We are impressed with Georgia’s strong commitment to provide safe correctional facilities.”
The ORION is one of the leading technologies being used to combat contraband cellular phones inside correctional facilities. For additional information on the ORION NLJD for locating and detecting cell phones in prisons visit:

More Prison Technology Cellular Jamming and Cellular Detection System

http://www.secintel.com/pc-982-26-intelligent-jamming-system.aspx

The Cellular Jamming and Cellular Detection System, model IJS 6000 is an intelligent cellular jamming system designed to jam unauthorized cellular phones while permitting authorized cellular phones to operate, such as in a prison, courthouse, military installation, or specific environment where cell phone activity must be controlled. In correctional circles, it is known as the prison jammer or prison jamming system.

More than a cell phone jammer, the Intelligent Jamming System detects and manually or automatically blocks unauthorized usage of cell phones and/or cell phone activity in designated areas. The cellular detector composition functions as a cellular detection center and works symbiotically with the cellular jamming feature.

How it works
In order control cellular phone activity in any given area, an established configuration is designed. This is comparable to building a fence. However, instead of placing posts and fencing at a physical border, cell phone jamming hardware is deployed to operate in many (or few) buildings or areas. These cellular jamming units can deny access to a large number of cellular telephones at any given time within a group of separate buildings, or a complex of corridors, conference rooms, numerous small offices and private rooms.

These cellular jammers are in constant control by a central administrator that can permit or deny cellular communications. These cellular jammers are connected via a Controller Area Network (CAN) into a local network and managed by a Central Base Station (CBS). The Intelligent Jamming System controls every element, from detection, to alerting where and when an individual cell phone is attempting to establish communication, to blocking the calls.

Remote Control Activation
The IJS can operate by remote control through the use of ON/OFF switching. Should the cell phone jamming components be located in buildings or areas away from the control unit, the Remote Control Activation can operate the cellular jammer from afar.

Users
Users of the Intelligent Jamming System include prisons and detention centers, military bases, defense installations, border control checkpoints, as well as other physical areas that require information to be controlled or restricted.

Prison Technology Cellular Jamming and Cellular Detection System

http://www.secintel.com/pc-982-26-intelligent-jamming-system.aspx

The Cellular Jamming and Cellular Detection System, model IJS 6000 is an intelligent cellular jamming system designed to jam unauthorized cellular phones while permitting authorized cellular phones to operate, such as in a prison, courthouse, military installation, or specific environment where cell phone activity must be controlled. In correctional circles, it is known as the prison jammer or prison jamming system.

More than a cell phone jammer, the Intelligent Jamming System detects and manually or automatically blocks unauthorized usage of cell phones and/or cell phone activity in designated areas. The cellular detector composition functions as a cellular detection center and works symbiotically with the cellular jamming feature.

How it works
In order control cellular phone activity in any given area, an established configuration is designed. This is comparable to building a fence. However, instead of placing posts and fencing at a physical border, cell phone jamming hardware is deployed to operate in many (or few) buildings or areas. These cellular jamming units can deny access to a large number of cellular telephones at any given time within a group of separate buildings, or a complex of corridors, conference rooms, numerous small offices and private rooms.

These cellular jammers are in constant control by a central administrator that can permit or deny cellular communications. These cellular jammers are connected via a Controller Area Network (CAN) into a local network and managed by a Central Base Station (CBS). The Intelligent Jamming System controls every element, from detection, to alerting where and when an individual cell phone is attempting to establish communication, to blocking the calls.

Remote Control Activation
The IJS can operate by remote control through the use of ON/OFF switching. Should the cell phone jamming components be located in buildings or areas away from the control unit, the Remote Control Activation can operate the cellular jammer from afar.

Users
Users of the Intelligent Jamming System include prisons and detention centers, military bases, defense installations, border control checkpoints, as well as other physical areas that require information to be controlled or restricted
