Life detection Radar at Glance
A remotely operated system that searches for heart rate, respiration and movements of humans. This microwave radar uses unique algorithms which makes it possible to scan common construction materials, open spaces, voids and thresholds for signs of life. This system uses a camera targeting system that automatically switches between conventional optics and infrared for day and night operations. The MK4 system is designed specifically to augment a human’s ability to detect life from a safe distance. This creates a layer of safety that keeps users away from harm. The MK4 is sealed in a water tight IP67 shock proof case. If it is dropped in water it will float allowing for recovery and continuance of the users mission. The contents of the remote sensor package are protected by a sealed solid aluminum plate custom designed and fitted the engineers at NANUK. This man portable package is controlled remotely by using an on board encrypted wireless router up to 60 m away. Additionally, operating and monitoring the system can be accomplished by using the MK4 as an IoT device. Its IP Address and MAC ID can be added to modern radio networks that handle data. The Finder MK4 is also vehicle or ground robot mountable. This system weights in at 3.6 kg. Finder is powered by a 12v 10 amp SLA style battery. This power source provides up to 12 hours of standby time and up to 150 scans with a full charge.

MK4 Software and Human Interaction Design Concepts
The MK4 operates on the most popular operatingsystems used today. Android, iOS, Linux, Mac OS and Windows devices to name a few. A simple downloaded APP connects the user to the device. The user interface has been designed to allow critical information to be found quickly. MK4 uses HCI “Human Interaction Concepts,” used in the aviation industry. This allows its user to focus on their mission and spend less time looking down. By using this modern approach, a synergy is created between the user and the technology. These concepts combined with color coding used in FAA Air Traffic Control displays, add to the synergy between the user and the device. A large annunciator HUD is located at the top most area of the user interface. This allows the user to quickly glance down to observe all the critical information in less than three seconds. Software updates will continually add new function to this system.
