Heat seaking radar !

Pooh Bear · May 31, 2005

Hi all,

in yet another episode of this epic series ( now screened in the UK too
) about America's most stupid examples of how to use a Police car .....
Sheriff John Bunnell referred to the use of helicopters with * heat
seeking radar * !

Now, what are the cops keeping from the military here ?

Reportedly, the Indian government is working on a nonlethal terahertz
crowd-control pain weapon--it's going to be a Sikh heating radar.

Yep. What do you think is in a lot of our small air-to-air and

Real RF radar, or passive heat seekers.

And, night-vision goggles are thermal imaging.

"Radar" implies a transmitter that illuminates the target. And
technically, the R stands for Radio.

Staring or scanning video cameras and signal processing.

And, night-vision goggles are thermal imaging.

...Jim Thompson

Uh,radar -transmits- a radio signal that is reflected and received;the
thermal imagers are just passive viewing of radiation emitted BY an
object;thus not a "radar".Otherwise,any video camera would be a "radar".
LIDAR is a laser-based "radar".

And night-vision goggles are NOT "thermal" imaging,they are LOW-LIGHT
amplifying.They use whatever light levels exists.They have responses down
into the IR region,though.Some are expressly filtered to only respond to
near-IR wavelengths.But still use reflected existing light,not what's
emitted as heat from the object.

Can you please provide us with the definition of radar you are using?

AFAIK, radar always involves detection of reflected RF energy. Practically
speaking, the RF is (almost?) always coherent.

Heat-seeking radar is _called radar_, but is not radar in the classic
sense of the name.

...Jim Thompson

OK, I think I get it. You are saying that the term "heat-seeking radar"
is in use, and is reasonably well-defined among those who use it, even if
it makes purists cringe.

Would that be a fair characterization of your position?

FWIW, I just did a quick google of "heat-seeking radar". It appears that
most occurences found were written by PR flacks, magazine writers, or
literary types trying to turn a cute phrase.

IOW, they don't know what they're talking about, but that doesn't slow them
down any.

Almost but not quite tautology. An interesting derivative.
