Two research projects aimed at providing soldiers with better data in the field

ARLINGTON - Qilian Liang, a UT Arlington professor of electrical engineering, has won two Department of Defense grants totaling $585,987 to develop a radar sensor network that will help soldiers detect potential threats obscured by walls or foliage. Current technology doesn’t link radar sensors in a network or allow for shared information in real time. Liang’s radar sensor network will be capable of providing military troops a web of information about large swaths of land, such as urban areas or a shoreline environment. The system, for example, will be able to provide soldiers
