Nano-materials become a pioneering new UV detector for sniper appearance

In the battlefields of Iraq or Afghanistan, unguardable anti-US armed snipers have resulted in massive casualties, and the American soldiers have been nervous. According to the United States "Defense News" website reported on May 19, the U.S. military is developing an anti-sniper weapon consisting of zinc oxide nano-materials - ultraviolet detectors.
New weapons
End the sniper?
In recent years, the U.S. military has struggled to solve sniper problems. Sound detectors, laser locators, and infrared detectors are gradually pushing the snipers to the sun. However, such conventional detection technology is often a civilian technology that “catch the ducks on the shelves.” It is difficult to achieve military detection accuracy.
The development of new material technologies has given them hope. The first to be noticed by the U.S. military researchers was a zinc oxide nanotube, which possesses good photoelectric conversion characteristics and can accurately detect the ultraviolet rays emitted by guns when they are fired. According to Dr Ashok Sudd, CEO of Magnolia Optical Technology, Inc., responsible for the study, this zinc oxide nanotube is a tiny tiny hollow tube with only the outside diameter of the hair. 1/1000 of silk. It is reported that zinc oxide nanotubes can convert light energy into electrical energy, can also convert electrical energy into light energy, can generate electrical energy from motion, and can detect various gases.
Of all the properties, the one that attracts the most attention of researchers is the first - the conversion of light energy into electricity. The new generation of anti-sniper technology takes advantage of this nature. Any weapon that burns gunpowder emits ultraviolet light when it is launched, even if the sniper rifle is an excellent silencer. Ultraviolet light scattered in the ultraviolet will strike the zinc oxide nano-atoms on the detector. During this process, energy conversion occurs and the kinetic energy of the photons is converted into electrical energy. The powerful processing ability of the detector can judge the direction of impact of the ultraviolet photon based on the strength of the current, thus accurately locking the sniper's position.
Magnolia Optics Technology’s research has received great attention from the U.S. military. So far, the U.S. military has allocated US$1.25 million in funds for this company. This is a relatively small military technology company and the money can be considered as Astronomical numbers.
Detection accuracy
It will increase tens of thousands of times
Soder is currently working with Professor Wang Zhonglin, a professor of the Georgia Institute of Technology and a well-known nanomaterials expert. He hopes to create a UV detector prototype early next year. In addition, since mortars, rockets, and other rockets emit ultraviolet rays, these weapons are often the "favorites" of anti-US armed forces. They also plan to expand the scope of application of new technologies. The U.S. military has also developed some non-nano material UV detectors, but the results are not satisfactory. According to Professor Wang Zhonglin, the detection accuracy of the new detector will increase thousands of times over the previous detector.
