MADAR

MADAR (MAtter Detection And Ranging) is the use of particle manipulation to detect material objects (or anything else composed of fermionic particles like protons and neutrons). It cannot detect electromagnetic radiation.

Madars work by sending out particle-field beams from an emitter and measuring their return to see if they were affected by any material objects within the scanning region. Depending on scan resolution, details such as size, density, and internal structure can also be deduced. In this manner, a madar can detect objects stealthed to regular electromagnetic scans, or hidden tunnels buried underground.

A madar scan can be countered by projecting a beam which interferes with the madar's in just the right way as to create false negative return indicating nothing is present.
