1. Summary

This CDE themed competition is looking for novel techniques to remotely provide information about the layout and situation inside a building.

We바카라 사이트™re interested in technologies and methods to gather any information that contributes to our overall awareness. Traditional sensing methods may have a role to play but ideas shouldn바카라 사이트™t be constrained to these technologies.

The ability to remotely gather information about the inside of buildings is critical to defeat increasingly sophisticated adversaries. This could include (but isn바카라 사이트™t limited to):

  • detecting concealed manufacturing activity
  • finding out about the internal structure of a building in preparation for entry (including walls, furniture and electrical equipment)
  • identifying illegal storage activities
  • working out the number of people in a building and what they are doing
  • detecting people who are hiding or being held against their will
  • supporting disaster relief, ie seeing under collapsed buildings
