![Researchers test the prototype standoff microwave imaging system. The antennas emit radio signals that reflect off the person standing in front of the array; the system processes the reflections to create the image on the monitors in the background.](/sites/default/files/styles/list/public/project/image/2018-04/512246-005D.jpg?h=f4b902a9&itok=aDA2L9iC)
Video-Rate Standoff Microwave Imaging System
The system can rapidly and discreetly detect threat items concealed under clothes or hidden in bags of people in crowded public spaces.

![PANDA's replay log files are compact and shareable, allowing for repeatable experiments. For example, a nine billion instruction set is represented by only a few hundred megabytes.](/sites/default/files/styles/list/public/project/image/2018-04/Network%20Maze%20Graphic.jpg?h=53c3d587&itok=o4kIZoQH)
PANDA – Platform for Architecture-Neutral Dynamic Analysis
An open source platform helps analysts quickly reverse engineer large, real-world binary systems to better analyze how software executes.

![The Laboratory's advanced work in miniaturized electronics enabled the development of EnteroPhone™.](/sites/default/files/styles/list/public/project/image/2018-04/EnteroPhone_in%20hand.jpg?h=3e00a8a5&itok=peUDma70)
EnteroPhone™
A wireless, ingestible device monitors heart and breathing rates by listening to the body's sounds and senses core temperature, all from within the gastrointestinal tract.

![The commercial chest strap is equipped with the Laboratory-prototyped sensor hub. The sensor hub takes physiological measurements, which are used to estimate a strain index. This index indicates if the wearer is at risk for a heat-related illness.](/sites/default/files/styles/list/public/project/image/2018-04/514591-001D.jpg?itok=6kAHir3s)
Physiological Status Monitoring
New sensors that gather data on a soldier's physiological state can help prevent heat-related injuries.
