Summary	The project will begin with the radar effort by constructing physical models of a suspect with specific "typical" patterns of wires attached and modeling the radar cross section using the numerical electromagnetic code (NEC) in a standard software package. The main objective of the radar system is to single out subjects that have wires on their person. The radar will attempt to discriminate (at a safe distance) between suspects with wires and those without wires by the enhanced radar cross section due to the wires. This effort will likely require a frequency agile radar that can sense the wires on a frequency that is resonant with the wire structure.
