The CODA 1 is designed to provide first-layer stand-off detection capability in a multi-dimensional security system.

The CODA 1 is a radar-based entry control point technology capable of detecting suicide bomb threats made up of either metallic or non-metallic shrapnel and bomb components hidden underneath clothing.  Unlike standard metal detectors, CODA 1 detects glass, ceramics, rocks, and ferrous and non-ferrous materials out over 100 feet. 

It can be used in both permanent and mobile installations, in the military, government, and civilian settings, and is appropriate for temporary deployment at remote meeting locations or to protect any large gathering where security screening is needed.

Providing an effective method of screening subjects at a safe distance away from areas or people requiring protection, the CODA 1 (CBD-1000) requires compliant subjects with empty pockets to stand in front of the radar with arms extended for less than six seconds. The system provides near-instantaneous intelligence during the scanning process, alerting the operator to a threat.

The CODA 1 can be installed in a permanent location or can be set up in minutes by one person for remote, temporary, or as-needed use. Because it is a wired system, it eliminates any wireless interception or jamming opportunities. It provides officials with real-time tactical intelligence and situational awareness and can be used in conjunction with other security measures with complementary capabilities.

Data input software

  • Proprietary algorithm software
  • Graphic User Interface (GUI)
  • AC 110 Volt/ 220 Volt 50-60 Hz or 12 VDC
  • If no utility AC or DC power is available, a 100 W generator or larger is required
  • NOTE: No generators are required for demonstrations using battery power. System can be run for 6 hours on an 800 Amp Hr Marine Battery. Or system can be run off a 12 volt vehicle charging system
  • Band: X-Band 9.5 – 10.5 GHz
  • Power Transmitted: 0.1 Watt (less than the power transmitted when using a cell phone)
  • Directionality: 32° vertical, 14° horizontal, 19 dB antenna gain
  • Data Throughput: USB

Military Testing Feedback

Highlights1 from Adaptive Red Team/Technical Support Operational Analysis (ART/TSOA) 15-4, Summary Report: Significant Accomplishments

  • Service Members (SMs) were impressed with, and strongly supported, the user-friendly CODA 1 system setup/operation
  • One vendor-trained SM trained another SM to setup/operate the CODA 1 system in less than five minutes

Joint Vulnerability Assessment Branch (JVAB) Assessment

  • The CODA1 has a low risk of susceptibility to threat detection based on these results:

    • Conventional jamming and spoofing attacks were ineffective. The spoofing attack and wideband noise signals appeared to have no effects on the CODA 1. Spoofing and jamming were unsuccessful at creating false alarms or preventing threat identification
    • Although the radar was detected at an intermediate range, an adversary will have limited opportunity to detect the CODA 1 because of its narrow antenna bandwidth
