Glass Hunter is a conceptual study for repurposing decommissioned military technology into life-saving medical equipment. This project outlines how to transform legacy AESA radar arrays into high-resolution scanners to detect non-metallic shrapnel (glass/silicon) in field hospitals.

- Target: Surplus 4.5-gen fighter radar array faces (e.g., AN/APG-63, F-16 SABR).
- ITAR Bypass: Physically remove back-end processors and military FPGAs.
- Result: A high-performance, programmable RF emitter with no classified algorithms.
- Dielectric Contrast: Human tissue is transparent to these waves, while glass/silicon shrapnel reflects them like a beacon.
- Resolution: Achieves sub-millimeter 3D mapping using Near-Field SAR configuration.
- Computation: Processes data via commercial GPUs (Nvidia RTX) or Raspberry Pi clusters.
- Safety: Power is throttled to the milliwatt (mW) range—safe as a standard Wi-Fi router.
- Power: Runs on standard 220V AC or ambulance batteries.
- Durability: Conformal coating allows the unit to be scrubbed with soap and water to remove blood.
- Conceptual Study: Implementation requires certified engineers and medical professionals.
- No Classified Data: This project does not use or advocate for the acquisition of active military assets.
