Embodiments of the invention are directed to a multilayered obstructed brokered network routing and data repackaging system, sometimes referred to as a MOB HUB. The MOB HUB is configured to communicate with a mission computer on a vehicle. At least one mobile computer is configured to communicate with the MOB HUB.

Multilayered obstructed brokered (MOB) embedded cyber security architecture

Embodiments of the invention are directed a network routing and data repackaging system. The system pairs a multilayered obstructed brokered network routing and data repackaging system, sometimes referred to as a MOB HUB, with a cyber kneeboard. Both the MOB HUB and cyber kneeboard communicate with a mobile computer removably-attached to the cyber kneeboard.

System and methods for network routing and data repackaging

A launcher for an unmanned aircraft may comprise: a launch rail, a carriage, pair of pulley drivers, and a cable and pulley system. The pulley drivers may produce opposing pulley drive forces, which may be converted into a single launching force via the cable and pulley system for launching the carriage. The cable and pulley system may comprise: launch rail pulleys, pulley block pulleys, cam pulleys, drive cables, and one or more winches. Embodiments of the launcher may apply a constant force to the aircraft uniformly over the launch distance, such that the unmanned aircraft may be propelled within a relatively short distance by applying energy to the aircraft in the smallest period of time and without exceeding the aircraft's acceleration limits.

A field colorimetric test device includes a housing having at least one interior compartment. A sampling device is configured to be associated with a distal end of the housing. A selection device is attached to a proximal end of the housing.

Field colorimetric test device

The present invention relates to an apparatus for locating objects (such as exploded or unexploded ordnance). The embodiments take advantage of spectroscopic features of an object's paint or surface finish to discriminate between the object and the background area. The apparatus utilizes an optical sensor, filters and the application of pixel to pixel ratios to detect the paint on an object from a distance so that objects such as unexploded ordnance may be safely destroyed or neutralized.

Apparatus for detection of objects

An inexpensive, reliable apparatus and method for autonomously monitoring, measuring the incident level, recording, comparing, reporting, and optionally displaying an indication of intentional or unintentional low-power interfering signals or emissions, including naturally occurring emissions and reflections, as received at the input of an operating system. A particular application of this invention is to monitor, measure, record, compare, report and optionally display an indication of low level interference in the L and L bands of operation of the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS). The received signals in L and L bands are compared to a reference received signal in a third band. This comparison provides a sensitive means to detect the presence of an interfering emission or signal in the L band or the L band via canceling out the variation in the radiometric scene temperature. The reported data are used for dynamic decision making.
