A regenerative radio-frequency wire detector is disclosed which incorpora a radio antenna and a radio receiver connected thereto. A radio transmitter is timely energized by an output signal from the aforesaid radio receiver which, in turn, causes the transmitting of electromagnetic energy within the environment ambient to the wire to be detected. A commercial radio station or other source is employed as a covert initial energizer of the wire to be detected. When so energized, said wire re-radiates electromagnetic energy to the receiving antenna which starts the regenerative processing within the system loop constituting the radio receiving antenna, the radio receiver, the radio transmitter, the transmitting radio antenna, the wire, and the environmental medium or mediums within which it is disposed. Due to the amplification effected by the aforesaid regeneration process, the detection of marine mine command wires, for example, is facilitated.

A magnetometer wherein inductance of a resonant circuit is made sensitive changes in magnetic field to vary an oscillator operating frequency. The magnetometer utilizes a ferromagnetic sensor element that is characterized by high permeability in weak magnetic fields when the element is maintained at predetermined elevated temperatures near the Curie point of the element material and also exhibits a hysteresis curve having a steep slope in the region of field strengths on the order of the earth's magnetic field. The preferred embodiment includes resistive heating of the element and use of substantially pure iron as the element material.

A vehicle carried metal object sensing system wherein sensing of magnetic elds of different polarity or of ferrous and non-ferrous objects results in distinctive colors on a cathode ray tube display. Deflection signals are generated in accordance with vehicle travel and field scan to provide successive frames of a map-like display.

A water wave height and fluid level measuring system is disclosed as having buoyant support mast which floats partially above water and partially below water in a substantially vertical disposition. A radio frequency transmitter is mounted on said mast above said water, and a plurality of radio frequency receivers are mounted on said mast at spatially disposed positions along said mast and submerged within said water. Telemetering, receiving data processing, and readout means are effectively connected to said receivers for communicating the output signals therefrom to predetermined remote or other locations, with said output signals being analog signals which represent water wave height or other fluid level at any given instant.

Object detecting and classifying apparatus is disclosed wherein signals, ulting from electromagnetic coupling between a search unit and an elongated, narrow, conductive object, are processed so as to provide automatic indication of detection of an object of the type mentioned. The apparatus discriminates against false indications from background and spurious signals and against signals from objects of other types by utilizing search unit means that produces successive signals having predetermined time relation to one another only when an object of the class sought is crossed, together with signal processing logic means responsive thereto, and recording and/or indicating means responsive to the logic means.

A free falling or projectable penetrometer for simultaneously determining a multiplicity of ground characteristics during penetration and retracking cycles and while at rest following full penetration. The apparatus employs a multitude of sensing elements and is further characterized by the presence of at least three electrode pairs one aligned with the central axis of the penetrometer with the other two pairs being positioned orthogonally in a common plane that is itself perpendicular to the central axis. An onboard power supply is included together with telemetry equipment to generate ground characteristics and transmit such signals.

An underwater object detection system and method are described which util changing phase relationships between radio waves received by a moving underwater receiver, via a retransmitting underwater object, and radio waves received through air directly from a transmitter. The moving underwater receiver is characterized by an envelope or encapsulation of material of different radio wave propagation rate than that of the water medium, so that a markedly different phase change relation exists when the underwater receiver is in contact with the object.
