SBIR-STTR Award

Utilizing directed energy weapons effectively in an offensive situation or determining the level of protection needed for defense requires the ability to select the proper DEW source characteristics and method of delivery based on the target, any shielding and the desired effect. This is an incredibly difficult problem to resolve due to the large number of variables to contend with. Accurate Automation Corporation (AAC) will employ its experience in the generation of electromagnetic pulses as well as designing HPM protection devices coupled with our work in modeling and simulation to develop a tool that models electromagnetic pulse (EMP) sources, potential targets (systems, sub-systems and components), attack scenarios (direct air propagation, power and data line transmission), and shielding methods (structures, metal enclosures, etc.) in order to assess the susceptibility of electronics and vulnerability of systems.
