Currently, Eureka is actively engaged in the development of two key technologies, both of which have potential application in defense as well as commercial markets.
For the past few years, Eureka has been developing a novel approach toward
impeding the progress of suspicious ground vehicles. Termed the High-Power
Electromagnetic System for Stopping Vehicles (HPEMS), Eureka’s
technology uses a compact, tunable power source and a high-gain antenna
to beam microwave energy in the direction of targeted vehicles. Once emitted,
these electromagnetic waves bring vehicles to a halt by inducing disabling
currents through their ignition systems. Eureka envisions two key applications
for its HPEMS: perimeter protection of high-value assets and vehicle interdiction.
Eureka is also developing a unique system that combines synthetic aperture
radar with ultrawideband technology to obtain high-resolution images through
solid structures. Eureka’s “through-the-wall” sensor will
be capable of “seeing” through materials as diverse as drywall,
wood, concrete, and brick, enabling its users to remotely view personnel,
weapons, and other targets at a range of up to 100 meters. This technology,
the high-resolution transient impulse Synthetic Aperture
Radar (ImpSAR), promises to strengthen military operations by facilitating
the identification of underground structures such as bunkers and caves,
as well as by detecting and pinpointing the location of hostages, hidden
armament, landmines, and unexploded ordnance (UXO).
