A soft-kill countermeasure system utilizing a confirmation device, which may be radar, to enhance existing countermeasures, and enable new countermeasures to be utilized to combat the ever evolving and increasing sophistication of threats. The threat defeat confirmation may allow for rapid or immediate redirection of the countermeasure system to address additional simultaneous threats. The confirmation device can be mounted on a gimbal head or above a gimbal to take advantage of slewing movement to direct the confirmation signal towards the threat.

Countermeasure system having a confirmation device and method thereof

A soft-kill countermeasure system utilizing a tracking radar to enhance existing countermeasures and enable new countermeasures to be utilized to combat the ever evolving and increasing sophistication of threats. The use of the tracking radar may further allow for immediate threat defeat confirmation which may allow for rapid or immediate redirection of the countermeasure system to address additional simultaneous threats.

Methods for enhanced soft-kill countermeasure using a tracking radar

A laser warning receiver system and method having at least four optical components mapped to a photodetector array to provide for omnidirectional detection of incident laser light. In some cases, a fifth optical component is mapped to the central portion of a photodetector array to provide hemispheric detection of laser light. The laser warning receiver system is configured to detect laser light in the NIR, SWIR, MWIR, and/or LWIR range using a single photodetector array and ROIC.

Low cost, high accuracy laser warning receiver

In the structure for providing protection for the human body from ballistic projectiles which includes one or more ballistic resistant panels overlying at least a portion of the body, wherein the improvement comprising one or more electronic devices integrated into at least one of the ballistic resistant panels.

Structure for integrating soldier system electronics with body armor

A flexible, multi-functional, multi-ply material mix and device, capable of providing ballistic protection are herein presented. The device and material herein presented provide multiple electronic and ballistic functionality integrated into a soft body armor that is lighter in weight and more comfortable to wear than previously available alternatives.

Multi-functional body armor

An apparatus may be configured to provide electrical power while incorporated in an armored garment. The apparatus may include a plate having a footprint that corresponds to a plate of body armor, a plurality of energy storage cells carried by the power plate, and a port carried by the plate. The port may be configured to output power stored in the plurality of energy storage cells from the apparatus. The apparatus may also include one or more processors configured to enhance functionalities of the apparatus.

Portable electrical power source for incorporation with an armored garment

User-wearable sensor arrays for use with projectile-detection systems, and methods of detecting a projectile with user-wearable sensor arrays.

Projectile-detection collars and methods

A body armor plate is configured to provide ballistics protection to a wearer of the plate. For example, the plate may be configured to protect the upper torso of the wearer from high-speed, ballistic projectiles like bullets, shrapnel, and/or other projectiles. In some implementations, the plate may include one or more electronic modules formed integrally therewith. Formation of the electronic modules integrally with the plate may enhance the functionality of the plate, may enhance the convenience (e.g., the form factor, the weight, the portability, etc.) of the electronics modules, robustness of the electronics modules, and/or other aspects of the electronics modules. The combination of the plate and the electronics modules may specifically provide various enhancements to, for example, military or law enforcement personnel that rely on the plate for ballistics protection.
