QinetiQ

The PADS® Precision AirDrop System ASonde enables aircrews to obtain in-situ weather information for mission execution. The use of data provided by the QinetiQ North America ASonde, in conjunction with the PADS UHF Dropsonde Receiver Sub-system (UHF-DRS) has resulted in a 70% improvement for impact point accuracy for high-altitude ballistic airdrop systems. For guided airdrop systems, the real-time data provided by the PADS ASonde allows mission planners to increase standoff distance and deliver cargo and personnel from higher altitudes with greater precision and safety than conventional methods.

• Applications

• Measurement of wind information for meteorological application in remote areas
• Features
• Simple to operate
• 11 programmable frequencies adds flexibility to operations
• Single indicator for power and GPS lock
• Operational in excess of 25,000 ft MSL
• Parachute color options allows for training or combat operations
• Replaceable batteries
• Run-time feature allows operator to determine remaining operational life

QinetiQ North America's TASK ™ Tactical Atmospheric Sounding Kit enables forward deployed personnel to observe and report real-time atmospheric data, including winds aloft, in support of localized weather forecasting or tactical, weather-dependent missions such as embarked air cavalry operations, Precision Airdrop, or artillery support. The TASK system continuously measures and broadcasts wind speed, wind direction, pressure, temperature and humidity while ascending through the air column, to altitudes greater than 40,000 ft, on a six cubic foot weather balloon. TASK is fully PADS®/JPADS compatible, weighs less than five pounds, and can be used to calculate HALO/HAHO release points.

QinetiQ North America's TASK™ Radiosonde is the world's lightest radiosonde, weighing in at only 38 grams (1.5 oz). The TASK Radiosonde collects and broadcasts high resolution pressure, temperature, humidity, and winds aloft data in real-time as it ascends through the air column. The data is relayed back to the TASK ground station transceiver enabling forward deployed units to report real-time atmospheric conditions either by voice or net-centric data transmission to any users requiring the information. The data can also be imported into standard weather forecasting software to produce tactical weather reports for mission planning and modeling.

The SPUR was named winner of the Common Robotic System Ð Individual (CRS(I)) program by the US Army. It revolutionizes robotic capability for dismounted forces with its rapid deployment from its stowed state, tactical mobility and radio range, high-performance manipulator arm and QinetiQ's proven UC-LITE universal controller.

Designed to be back-packable, SPUR is equipped with advanced sensors and mission modules for dismounted forces to enhance mission capabilities. SPUR is transported by a single MOLLE II Assault Pack with a controller, pan-tilt-zoom camera and manipulator arm. It is deployed from the assault pack, without tools in less than a minute, enabling a quick reaction to be tasked with a mission.

Like a bantamweight fighter, SPUR provides exceptional strength, mobility and endurance. SPUR can easily navigate through rocks, water, sand and other rough terrain. Weighing less than 28 pounds, SPUR can nimbly climb stairs and surmount obstacles, yet is sized to operate effectively in culverts and sewer pipes that wider robots cannot penetrate.

FEATURES

• Tactical mobility
• Lightweight
• Rapid deployment without tools
• Compact foldable design
• Transported in Molle II assault pack
• UC-LITE for universal control
• IOP V2 interfaces
• Advanced ISR capability
• Exceptional radio range
• Superior day and night vision

EARS® SWATS® is a compact, shoulder-worn acoustic targeting system that detects, locates and displays hostile shooter location in less than a quarter of a second. This system provides situational awareness, protection and enhances survival to those who need to quickly locate and respond to enemy threats. Developed as a man-wearable solution, SWATS accurately detects gunfire and determines the threats point of origin. SWATS is the smallest, lightest, lowest-power gunshot detector available. With more than 19,500 units shipped to 12 nations, SWATS has been combat-tested and field-proven in Iraq, Afghanistan, France, Germany, Australia and South Korea and in homeland security missions. SWATS is proven to perform accurately in urban, mountainous and open terrain and does not false alarm or respond to nearby friendly fire. Equipped with numerous features, SWATS is manufactured using the highest quality standards.

FEATURES

• Instantly detects and locates gunshot
• Protects and increases survivability
• Compact and lightweight Accurate and effective
• Combat and field proven
• Operates in mountainous, urban and open terrain
• Built-in GPS location and timing
• Low power requirement
• Intuitive operation
• Alerts made with audible voice announcement
• Hands-free voice alert and graphical threat display

The new TALON -Tactical Disinfecting Robot (TDR) is a remote and autonomous disinfecting robot. TALON-TDR combines the robust and life-saving TALON robot and Far-UV Sterilray's lamp. Keeping others from a safe distance, TALON-TDR is able to perform disinfecting methods benefiting Military bases, hospitals, schools, corporations, shopping establishments and more.

Using patented and proprietary techniques, Far-UV Sterilray develops Excimer Wave Sterilray (EWS) UV lamps that emit 222nm UV. Testing and research has shown that Sterilray's EWS lamps are up to 1,000 times more effective at killing viruses than current methods. Even the air can be disinfected by EWS UV light Ð all without the use of agents/chemicals.

FEATURES:

• Reduces exposure to germs, viruses and bacteria
• Optional onboard semi-autonomous navigation system
• Eliminates personnel going into potentially contaminated areas
• Minimizes personnel fatigue carrying disinfection solutions and wearing PPE when performing disinfection procedures

Time is of the essence in the circumstances where itÍs necessary to stop an escaping vehicle. In these demanding situations where fast reaction times are the key, deployment of the system needs to be rapid and simple. Its effects must be reliable. And the issue of the safety of bystanders, those deploying the system and the vehicleÍs occupants, is never far away ? an issue that goes hand in hand with minimizing any damage to the target vehicle. The X-Net non-lethal, man-portable system, with its unique spiked net design, can fully arrest a wide range of vehicles quickly and easily with the minimum of harm.
