| Pre-release: Tactical Implications of High Power Microwaves (HPM) This set of meeting proceedings contains a keynote welcome speech summary and the available papers and presentation material from the SCI-119 Workshop on Tactical Implications of High Power Microwaves (HPM), held at the Svanemøllens Kaserne, Copenhagen, Denmark, 11-13 June 2002. Some plenary discussions are also included. The Workshop largely covered the following issues: (a) threat to military and civilian infrastructure, (b) susceptibility of military and COTS equipment through “front door” and “back door” coupling, (c) protection, (d) propagation and pene-tration, (e) implications for military operations test and evaluation. Particular attention was given to results from tests of HPM effects on COTS computer equipment. Many types of computers were tested, and a representative collection of results were shown at the Workshop. The Workshop pro-vided clear evidence of how unprotected electronic systems located inside buildings, shelters etc. can be disturbed or damaged by HPM from rather compact and simple devices operating at modest power levels. HPM weapons of a wide range of sizes, powers, and capabilities have been under development for many years, and some of them are already available for operational use. Hence, potential attacks based on current and generally available technology must be taken into account in any scenario where malfunction of electronic systems could have fatal consequences. rto.nato.int |
Military Clothing Designers on Cutting Edge When you think about clothing designers, you probably think of a favorite designer or perhaps a favorite store and not the U.S. military, but the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center has clothing designers who design, develop and improve military clothing and equipment. army.mil |

SuperFlow Technologies Group Founded in 1972, SuperFlow Technologies Group is a worldwide market leader of military, high-performance, racing, and automotive testing and diagnostic equipment. Our equipment is used daily in military maintenance rebuild facilities, technical and military school programs, professional race shops, speed shops, by professional engine builders, leading automotive manufacturers, OEMs, tier-one suppliers, fleet operators, and transit authorities throughout the world. SuperFlow Technologies Group comprises the proven Axiline, Hicklin, SuperFlow, and TCRS brands. SuperFlow now provides the most complete selection of dynamometers, flowbenches, and test and rebuilding equipment in the industry. HEAVY-DUTY TRANSMISSION DYNAMOMETERSHicklin transmission dynamometers are designed for heavy-duty transmissions for both inline and cross-drive applications. Additional options can test in-line, V-drive, and angle-drive configurations. The dynamometer will accommodate all sizes of power-shift and manual-shift off-highway transmissions including drop-box and remote-mounted configurations. With the correct control console, the Hicklin transmission dynamometer can test Voith, ZF, Renk, GM (military), and the entire family of Allison transmissions as well as others. The heavy-duty military applications provided by SuperFlow Technologies Group incorporate state-of-the-art direct electric drive technology for clean, quiet, and efficient input power. This efficient technology delivers full torque capacity from 0-4000 rpm, bi-directionally. Electric drives from 125-300 hp are standard. Custom drives up to 2,000 hp are also commonly used. BROAD RANGE OF ENGINE DYNAMOMETER TEST STANDS SuperFlow products have attained industry-wide acceptance because of our ability to reduce advanced engineering tests to simple procedures technicians can perform. Skilled engineers or novice technicians can operate virtually all SuperFlow automated dynamometers and other equipment with equal success.SuperFlow has manufactured more than 3,500 automated systems in the US and around the world. Systems consist of a sophisticated engineered test stand, numerous transducers and sensors, a Power Absorption Unit (PAU) most generally composed of water brake, eddy current, or water-cooled eddy current absorbers, and a computerized control console designed with the latest computer and software programs available. Units are programmed for automatic data collection and test cycles, data storage and printout, graph and chart programs, and self-diagnostics designed to user specifications.DATA ACQUISITION AND CONTROL FOR REPEATABLE, AUTOMATED TESTSSuperFlow makes Data Acquisition and Control (DAC) systems for our entire line of dynamometers. Our DAC system helps rebuilders verify their repairs and limit comebacks. SuperFlow's Data Acquisition and Control (DAC) systems are used by OEMs, power train remanufactures; military rebuild facilities, professional race engine shops, and R&D facilities worldwide.WinDyn™ software is used with SuperFlow dynamometer data acquisition systems. WinDyn provides quick and easy test design and configuration, real-time data acquisition and display, convenient test data management and reporting. It lends a friendly user interface to the SuperFlow dynamometer's electronic hardware system. WinDyn works on computers running Microsoft¬ Windows¬ operating systems and communicates with the dynamometer through Ethernet or a serial connection from the computer to the SuperFlow data acquisition hardware. army-technology.com |
