Products
Hearing-protection helmet
Head-worn protective system designed to reduce peak overpressure and protect hearing and head safety in high-noise, high-risk environments.
Portable/no-booth audiometric testing system
Wireless automated audiometric testing system enabling localized hearing assessment without a sound booth or on-site audiologist.
Compact swaging machine for cable maintenance
Portable swaging machine and pre-positioning tools designed to speed and simplify coupling replacement and maintenance of aircraft arresting gear cables.
Structured-light fastener inspection tool
Handheld inspection tool that projects multiple laser lines and images the pattern to provide rapid 3-D measurements and go/no-go determinations of fastener profiles.
Miniature cryocooler and controller electronics
Miniature cryocooler systems and associated control electronics and power supplies for optics cooling and other spaceflight cryogenic applications.
Wireless Open Water Logger (WOWL)
Rugged sensor package that logs water temperature, tags data with location via smartphone, and uploads to a cloud-based repository for fisheries and aquaculture.
