    In air and missile defense (AMD), the Integrated Air-and-Missile Defense system (IAMD) is an United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) research program to augment the aging surface-to-air missile defense systems and to provide the United States Army with a low-cost, but effective complement to kinetic energy solutions to take out air threats.

  6. Motion detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_detector

    A motion detector attached to an outdoor, automatic light. A motion detector is an electrical device that utilizes a sensor to detect nearby motion (motion detection).Such a device is often integrated as a component of a system that automatically performs a task or alerts a user of motion in an area.

  7. Occupancy sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupancy_sensor

    Occupancy sensor types include: PIR sensors, which work on heat difference detection, measuring infrared radiation.Inside the device is a pyroelectric sensor which can detect the sudden presence of objects (such as humans) who radiate a temperature different from the temperature of the background, such as the room temperature of a wall.

  8. Head-up display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-up_display

    Eyebox – The optical collimator produces a cylinder of parallel light so the display can only be viewed while the viewer's eyes are somewhere within that cylinder, a three-dimensional area called the head motion box or eyebox. Modern HUD eyeboxes are usually about 5 lateral by 3 vertical by 6 longitudinal inches (13x8x15 cm.)

  9. Passive infrared sensor - Wikipedia
