A system includes a robotic arm of a robotic device, an imaging device coupled to the robotic arm, and a processor configured to control movement of the robotic arm to move the imaging device along a preprogrammed measurement path of a transparency while prompting the imaging device to record images of localized portions of the transparency. The processor is configured to determine one or more localized transparency characteristics based on an analysis of the images of the localized portions.

System and method for measuring localized characteristics of a transparency

A plug for insertion into a blast-tube exit cavity of a gun-blast diffuser comprises a plug front surface, a plug rear surface, a plug side surface that extends between the plug front surface and the plug rear surface, a body, comprising a polyurethane foam, and a substrate, coupled to the body and comprising a conductive nonwoven fabric, impregnated with a polyurethane matrix. The plug front surface of the plug is formed by the substrate. The plug rear surface of the plug is formed by the body. The plug side surface of the plug is formed by the substrate and the body.
