One new technology Israeli military has been much discussed in recent days, as it allows its operator to see through walls. For this, the Xaver 1000, produced by imaging solutions company Camero-Tech, detects objects and people using an algorithm made with artificial intelligence. The machine was presented at the Eurosatory 2022 exhibition in Paris, France, and surprised specialists in the field.

This feature is part of a series of products from the “See Through Walls” project, which, according to the company, is capable of providing real-time data on objects and people hidden behind the walls. Thus, in the coming years, this can be an indispensable item for military forces, police, intelligence units, etc.
How does the technology work?
Basically, the device is capable of displaying objects live and in high resolution through the wall. It is even possible to detect the position a person is in, whether standing, lying down or sitting, even if they remain motionless for a long time. It is also possible to detect specific parts of the body, such as the hands, to analyze behavior and gestures. All this in a very simple way, without demanding much from the operator.
That's because operations are done through a very practical interface, on a 10.1-inch touchscreen incorporated in the Xaver 1000. Therefore, in risk situations, in which it is necessary to detect the presence of living individuals in a room, the number of people and their distance from the operators, the device plays a role fundamental. By delivering the overall layout of a space, it can greatly reduce the risks of some missions.
This can all be done using most building materials such as cement, wood and some metals, allowing full obvious operational advantage and ability to enter an environment "known".
