A ballistic detection system includes a first camera; a second camera; a solar block device associated with at least one camera of the first and second cameras, wherein the solar block device is configured and arranged to block a solar disc in a field of view of the at least one camera; and a ballistics analysis computer configured to obtain image data captured by the first and second cameras, determine at least two points in three-dimensional space, which correspond to image artifacts of a projectile, using intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the first and second cameras, define a trajectory of the projectile within a target volume using the at least two points in three-dimensional space, and find a point of intersection of the trajectory of the projectile with an object associated with the target volume.

Camera systems and devices for ballistic parameter measurements in an outdoor environment

An apparatus to modify an incident free space electromagnetic wave includes a block of an artificially structured material having an adjustable spatial distribution of electromagnetic parameters (e.g., &#x2208;, &#x3bc;, &#x3b7;, &#x3c3;, and n). A controller applies control signals to dynamically adjust the spatial distribution of electromagnetic parameters in the material to introduce a time-varying path delay d (t) in the modified electromagnetic wave relative to the incident electromagnetic wave.

An apparatus to modify an incident free space electromagnetic wave includes a block of an artificially structured material having an adjustable spatial distribution of electromagnetic parameters (e.g., &#x3b5;, &#x3bc;, &#x3b7;, &#x3c3;, and n). A controller applies control signals to dynamically adjust the spatial distribution of electromagnetic parameters in the material to introduce a time-varying path delay d(t) in the modified electromagnetic wave relative to the incident electromagnetic wave.

One exemplary metamaterial is formed from a plurality of individual unit cells, at least a portion of which have a different permeability than others. The plurality of individual unit cells are arranged to provide a metamaterial having a gradient index along at least one axis. Such metamaterials can be used to form lenses, for example.
