After the Turkey Earthquake: Growing Demand for Life Detection Radar

Following the earthquake in Turkey, there has been an increased demand for the wall-penetrating radar (D.I.R.) developed for military purposes. The producing company is conducting studies to enhance the effectiveness of the device in responding to natural disasters. The device is used to detect living bodies behind concrete and brick structures, which helps in saving the lives of thousands trapped under the rubble of earthquakes. Its technology can detect the smallest movements, such as breathing behind three walls, chest movements, shoulder movements, waving hands, and finger tapping. Initially produced for defensive purposes, the device has proven to be highly effective in locating those trapped under debris during natural disasters.
