The United States develops a new type of infrared sensor that can be used to counter simple ***

An official from the Department of Night Vision and Electronic Sensors (CERDECNVESD) Signal and Image Processing Branch of the Army Communications Electronics R&D and Engineering Center said that this new type of anti-improvised explosive device can expand the range of soldiers’ patrols. SCISSOR-G is used to detect suspected areas and mark them. Then the radar car is closer to the threat zone for further confirmation. SCISSOR-G can provide greater threat detection range for patrol cars. The Army recently conducted a 90-day test and evaluation of SCISSOR-G. The Joint IED Defense Organization requested CERDEC NVESD to use the existing airborne detection and sensing system for reference to ground vehicles.

The SCISSOR-G consists of a sensor and a multi-sensor graphical user interface, which is typically installed on the Husky Landmine Vehicle. The multi-sensor graphical user interface with a touch screen display can be used to control a 10-inch tower and IR HD color camera. The multi-sensor graphical user interface has enough flexibility to ensure that sensor control and data visualization can work on the same vehicle or on a trailing vehicle. The system is divided into two parts so that one operator can monitor the road in real time. When the SCISSOR-G system is configured on two vehicles, respectively, commands and data are transmitted over the wireless link. If the operator in the multi-sensor graphical user interface vehicle detects the threat, he will alert the driver of the vehicle to confirm the threat to the suspicious area.
