Radar burst SOS device
I have never used radar so this idea may be useless (ok, so almost all
of em are) but..... Producing an intense burst of RF is fairly easy by firing a magnet through a properly shaped coil. This is done in new EMP weapons where the power output is high enough to fry nearby electronics. So, why not use the same idea in a 12 guage shell dsigned to fit in one of those flare launchers. The charge fires the magnet through the coil (this is destructive as the coil disintegrates) producing a short intense pulse of RF that will appear on the radar scope. Maybe it could also fire a cloud of chaff into the air to make a longer lasting return. The idea is that the initial pulse will get the operators attention and then the chaff would allow him to see the source. |
