RALEIGH -- A professor at North Carolina State University is being honored by the army for research that helps soldiers in war-zones.
Dr. Michael Steer developed a way to use sound waves as an advanced radar system.
It would be able to detect things are hidden below ground such as buried cell phones used to detonate roadside bombs.
Army leaders awarded Steer with the Commander's Award for Public Service and are crediting the professor with savings hundreds of lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Steer says he didn't take a single say off between 2002 and 2005 while he worked on the project.
