Friendly Fire (Wiki): "There is also some development of remote sensors to detect enemy vehicles – the Remotely Monitored Battlefield Sensor System (REMBASS) uses a combination of acoustic, seismic vibration, and infrared to not just detect, but identify vehicles." I wonder if this capability really worked?I-REMBASS - Improved - Remotely Monitored Battlefield Sensor System
MBD/EMR |
Modulated Beam Detector / EMitteRAbove is guess about the meaning of letters on unit.This unit has a battery compartment that holds three 9 V batteries wired in parallel. When 9 volts is applied from a bench supply the current draw is near zero. BUT, looking into the optical element with the PAS-6 shows modulated IR light. I could also see the light in the viewfinder of the camera, and tried three times to capture it, but that didn't happen. With the very low current draw and using three batteries this unit may run in the field for a number of months if not years. |
MBD/SHD |
Modulated Beam Detector /S?? H?? D??This unit has the same first three letters and the above unit and looks to be the matching detector.Connector is marked: PT06P-8-3P The cable is potted onto the connector. |
MBW |
Modular Break Wire SensorWhen the cap is removed three fine wires can be seen. (1) One of them comes from the central hole and can be pulled out, like there's some length spooled inside. (2) A wire loop starts on one side and terminates on the other side. (3) a short fixed length wire about 1/2" long. Push Button. LED Notch that will hold the connector. Same connector as above. |
MBW Back Side diagram |
There's a diagram on the
back of the MBW unit that seems to depict someone breaking
a wire tied between two trees. To the right of the
diagram is a vertical line and the letter "B". Why the three wires?] How does it detect a wire break or does it? The notches and circular hole may be related to mounting options. |
