Public Profile

VAWD is focused on working on next generation radar with capacites of see through obstruction, wlls and foliage; to detect life; penetrate ground and provide buried object imaging; standoff biometric sensing and imaging. VAWD engineering staff have extensive experience in executing accelerated development, testing, and field validation of biometrics-based technologies, resulting in products that provide the highest value to customers. The firm design and build Next Generation Radars; Smart and Adaptive Sensors; ant Reconnaissance and Surveillance Sensors; Biometric Radar; Sense through obstructions sensors and Low power, small and precision radar architecture. Services are available to Defense, Homeland Security, Law Enforcement, and Commercial clients. STORM Portable Unit (VAWD Engineering) Sense Through Obstruction Remote Monitoring System (STORMS) by VAWD Engineering is a TTWS that can detect, track and discriminate human and other life form targets. Designed as a stand-off system, STORMS can be vehicle-mounted, man-packed, portable or handheld. VAWD reports that STORMS has a detection range of up to 120 meters for the man-packed, portable and handheld systems, and up to 400 meters for the vehicle-mounted system. Viewing angles are relatively small in relation to other systems (12 degrees for vehicle-mounted and 40 degrees for smaller systems). This may account for longer detection ranges through having a more focused emission. STORMS can detect moving and stationary targets and present data in 1D, 2Dor 3D. STORMS can operate for 3 to 4 hours on a rechargeable battery pack. The units weigh up to 15 pounds for the smaller units and up to 70 pounds for the vehicle-mounted system. The systems are based on a central technology that allows the company to work with a customer to configure the equipment for a specific application need. STORM operates between 3.3 and 3.8 GHz at low power levels (less than typical cell phones).STORMS has not been FCC certified for civilian law enforcement applications; however, VAWD Engineering is aware of the FCC requirements for the equipment and is considering applying for a license so that the finished product can be offered for purchase
