... The range requirement also appears achievable based on the sensitivity of present photomultiplier tubes relative to the expected return signal intensity. The program will be structured in three phases.

... HurIey was asked how one can read a specific passive RF tag at a random angle if the tag is made up of randomly oriented fibers. The answer is that the computer processing the return signal can calculate what the return signal from each tag in its library should look like as it is rotated with respect to the interrogating radar and match the pattern to the observed pattern.
