System for deployment of a millimeter wave concealed object detection system using an outdoor passively illuminated structure
View Patent ↗A system for deployment of a millimeter wave concealed object detection system using an outdoor passively illuminated structure is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, the structure includes at least one sidewall with at least one louvered panel within the sidewall. The louvered panel is orientated to reflect millimeter energy into the structure that is used in part by a concealed object detection system for detecting concealed objects. The louvered panel includes a plurality of adjustable parallel slats for obtaining an optimum deployment angle. The structure further includes at least one detection lane for guiding a subject through the structure and is configured between a controlled entry barrier and an exit barrier of the structure.
1. A system for deployment of a millimeter wave concealed object detection system using an outdoor passively illuminated structure, the system comprising:
a structure having at least one sidewall;
at least one louvered panel disposed within the at least one sidewall, wherein the at least one louvered panel orientated to reflect millimeter wave energy into the structure;
an optional entry barrier disposed at a first end of the structure;
an optional exit barrier disposed at a second end of the structure;
at least one detection lane configured within the structure and between the optional entry barrier and optional exit barrier; and
a concealed object detection system that detects concealed objects passing through the at least one detection lane.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the detection lane is spatially offset from the optional entry barrier and optional exit barrier so that in the event of an explosion that a blast is substantially contained within the structure.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the structure is a modified International Organization for Standardization (ISO) container.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the optional entry barrier and optional exit barrier each further comprising a lockable full body turnstile.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the optional entry barrier and the optional exit barrier each further comprising magnetic locking doors.
6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a complementary biometric device that is adjacent to the detection lane and used to identify subjects traversing the invention.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one louvered panel having a plurality of user-adjustable parallel slats to optimize reflecting millimeter wave energy into the structure.
8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising fencing or other barrier erected outside of the structure to segregate persons having passed through the detection lane and cleared of dangerous concealed objects from unscreened persons.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the optional exit barrier is connected to an entryway of a parent structure.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the optional entry barrier is connected to an exit of a parent structure.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one louvered panel having a plurality of parallel slats angled at approximately 18 degrees.
12. The system of claim 11 , further comprising a separate monitoring area internal or external to the structure to host security personnel.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the concealed object detection system is a millimeter wave concealed object detection system having at least one millimeter wave camera.
14. The system of claim 1 , further comprising an accessory scanning area that is adjacent to the detection lane and used to detect concealed objects hidden in accessories.
15. The system of claim 14 , further comprising a blast wall external to the structure and in front of each louvered panel disposed within the at least one sidewall.
16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one louvered panel is adjustable for obtaining the optimum deployment angle.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the at least one louvered panel further comprising millimeter wave reflecting material.
18. A system for deployment of a millimeter wave concealed object detection system using an outdoor passively illuminated structure, the system comprising:
a structure modified as a security check point wherein the structure is divided into at least two separate detection lanes;
at least one optional entry barrier disposed at a first end of the structure;
at least one optional exit barrier disposed at a second end of the structure;
a divider wall having blast mitigation properties disposed between each detection lane; and
a concealed object detection system that detects concealed objects passing through the structure;
wherein the structure further comprising at least one sidewall having at least one louvered panel disposed within the at least one sidewall, wherein the at least one louvered panel orientated to reflect millimeter wave energy into the structure.
19. A system for deployment of a millimeter wave concealed object detection system using an outdoor passively illuminated structure, the system comprising:
a structure having at least one wall;
at least one louvered panel disposed within the at least one wall, wherein the at least one louvered panel orientated to reflect millimeter wave energy into the structure;
at least one detection lane configured within the structure; and
a concealed object detection system that detects concealed objects passing through the at least one detection lane.
