Hmm.. could it be radio? I seem to recall the possibility of searching for metallic objects (exclusivly?), using an antenna with varying frequency on that band. *Edit* Now I feel dumb. A quick google search yields RADAR. haha so that would mean I'd either have to include materials which avoid...
@berkeman The reconnaissance in such a case would probably involve scouring the area for flashy objects and heat signatures, however I do not believe that on such a small scale the signature would be that problematic. From a military point of view the main issues I can think of are the...
Hi thanks for a prompt reply! My intention was to optimize for weight and performance mainly. Hence the materials I am looking at would have suitable strength properties, rugged (tough) and ideally corrosion resistant. For example using a tubular stainless steel as the core material.
I guess to...

To carry out a materials selection exercise for a military/surveillance portable infrared imager tripod. The exercise will be carried out by means of any legal and valid technique possible and applicable, including (but not withstanding) techniques described in lectures, textbooks &...
I am an undergrad student studying mechanical engineering at the University of Malta. Stumbled across this forum whilst doing some research & decided to sign up! For anyone that can post suggestions I'm carrying out a material selection exercise for the legs of an infrared imager tripod :)
