Products
Configurable fast-response aerosol chamber (FRAC)
Reconfigurable aerosol generation and test chamber for controlled aerosol exposure testing with iso-kinetic sampling, dynamic concentration feedback, and programmable pulse profiles.
Aerosol collection and concentration module (aerosol-to-vapor module)
Portable aerosol collection and concentration subsystem designed to increase net analyte available to a detector, reduce size/weight/power, and integrate with field detectors.
EMI-compliant pass-through charger and power supply
Development of EMI-compliant power supply and charger designed to meet EMI requirements in advanced threat environments and to interface with field batteries.
IMPACT
Integrated, mobile, Precision Aimed Counter-UAS Turret that serves as a lightweight, manportable, kinetic defeat system integrating a PTZ control system with optics for remote operation and automated targeting of incoming UAS threats.
Manportable Radiological Detection System (MRDS)
An integrated tactical radiological detection system combining commercial radiological sensors, MANET tactical radios, and situational awareness software for tactical-level information.
Defense Architecture Systems Prototype-to-Production Services
Rapid development and manufacturing of products capable of real-world operation in mission-critical applications, from initial concept and prototyping through manufacturing and deployment.
