DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH

  • Research

    We investigate the material properties of various compounds and agents that have the capability to disrupt signals and electronics.

  • Evaluate

    Successful technologies are promoted to field testing by military, law enforcement, and federal agencies to gauge efficacy and performance.

  • Commercialize

    We license our next-generation payload technologies to leading defense manufacturers for integration with their existing platforms.

KINETIC GLASS DESTROYER

Our pneumatic, reinforced glass destroying payload utilizes kinetic energy to break through reenforced glass up to 1/2 inch thick, with no payload pass-through.

National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) tested the payload via independent Police Departments across the United States, finding it to be three times more effective than similar payloads within the marketplace.

ELECTRICALLY DISRUPTIVE PAYLOAD

Robotic targets require special munitions that focus on circuitry, electronics, signals, sensors, and mechanical sub-systems. Typically only the battery and CPU will be reinforced with armor to remain lightweight.

Electrically disruptive payloads (EDPs) disperse conductive materials that confuse electronic sensors, and establish unintended conductive pathways, overwhelming and degrading targeted systems.

METAL POWDER DEPOSITION

Metal Powder Deposition (MPD) payloads are designed for close-quarters battle (CQB) against weaponized and threatening robotics.

MPD payloads add a secondary effect that coats internal systems, disrupting LiDAR performance by shifting or reflecting wavelengths, distorting return signals, lowering amplitude, and creating deceptive echoes.
