Our aviation passive millimeter-wave camera combines the imaging properties of infrared systems with the penetration capabilities of radar.  Like an infrared system, there is no minimum or maximum range of the system, only a decrease in spatial resolution with range.  The system only needs to focus at the desired distance.  Our system produces a recognizable image without extensive computer processing.
