  • Explosive device countermeasures
    Patent number: 7987068
    Abstract: A method and system for mitigating the effectiveness of IEDs are disclosed. The method can include detecting IEDs by sensing the presence of a non-linear electronic component of an IED. The presence of a non-linear electronic component of the IED can be detected by illuminating the device with a high power microwave signal containing a plurality of radio frequencies of electromagnetic radiation and receiving sum and/or difference frequency components that are produced by interaction of the illuminating signals with a non-linear IED component and subsequently re-radiated.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 25, 2009
    Date of Patent: July 26, 2011
    Assignees: The Boeing Company, The University of Missouri
