Core Technologies

Currently, Eureka is actively engaged in the development of two key technologies, both of which have potential applications in defense, homeland security, law enforcement, search and rescue, and commercial markets.

Stopping the Enemy in its Tracks: Non-lethal Area Denial to Vehicles

For the past several years, Eureka has been developing a novel PCSS-based modular High-Power Microwave system capable of delivering tens of Gigawatts of microwave power at large standoffs. Termed the Integrated Blumlein Antenna (IBA) array, Eureka’s enabling technologies such as miniature photo-conducting semiconductor switches (PCSSs) and laser diode chips render a compact tunable and modular architecture which combines both the generation and radiation of microwave energy towards its targets. IBA’s Directed Energy applications include (1) remote neutralization/immobilization of UAVs, ground vehicles & boats, (2) Remote neutralization of explosive hazards (EHs) and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), (3) non-lethal area denial and (4) electronic warfare.

Seeing Past Barriers: “Through-the-Wall” Impulse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ImpSAR)

Eureka is also developing a unique system that combines synthetic aperture radar with ultra-wideband technology to obtain high-resolution images through walls and ground. 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 long standoff ranges in remote, clandestine fashion. This technology, the high-resolution transient impulse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ImpSAR), also 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).
