| Israel's military has deployed a U.S.-origin technology to check visitors and equipment coming from Egypt to the Gaza Strip. Israel has been operating the SafeView Millimeter Wave Radar for deployment at the border terminal in the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah. The portal system employs millimeter wave holographic technology to screen passengers from Egypt for weapons and explosives. The system was developed by SafeView in cooperation with Endwave Corp, both of them U.S. companies. The companies said the portal system transmits ultra-high frequency, low powered radio frequency waves as people pass through the portal. The waves penetrate clothing and reflect off of the person's skin and any items being carried. A sensor array captures the reflected waves and uses a desktop computer to analyze the information and produce a high-resolution, three-dimensional image from the signals. The companies have not yet launched full production of the system. |
