The skin is the first line of defense against chemical warfare agents including nerve agents and toxic industrial chemicals, providing a possible barrier or delay to systemic distribution. Some chemicals also can act directly on the skin including the vesicants sulfur mustard and lewisite. Early and rapid skin decontamination is extremely important following exposure to CWAs and TICs because it de ...

A chemical threat agent mode of action is often initiated through a selective interaction with a biological molecule or structure. The binding event mimics normal cellular processes, but then overruns natural control mechanisms leading to toxic and lethal effects. The native binding specificity is used to design sensor recognition elements that outperform conventional antibody-based biosensors. Ou ...

The Precision Targeting High Accuracy Mortar Fire Control System (HAM-FCSt) is a sensor suite and ballistic solution providing equipment that is mounted to the mortar tube and provides the user with real-time critical system information on the fire solution. The intuitive user controls and display system allow the user to focus on the employment of the mortar system and less on the positioning and ...

At present, there are no solutions for equipping Class 1 and 2 unmanned aerial system (UAS) platforms with weapons systems that provide the capability for opportunistic engagement of high value targets (HVT). Munitions deployed on larger UAS, and other fixed-wing SOCOM assets, greatly exceed the payload capacity of Class 1 and 2 UAS assets currently in use for intelligence, surveillance, and recon ...
