Hyperspike Micro

The Hyperspike Micro is the next generation Hyperspike Product that will continue the trend of smaller, lighter, yet incredibly powerful acoustic projectors.  They Hyperspike Micro is moving very quickly towards production, and will have the following impressive characteristics:

• 11.0" w 13.0" t 12.0" d
• 20lbs (with internal 2hr battery)
• Charger kits for 12-28vdc and 100-255vac 50/60hz
• 138db 1 meter at rated power
• Less than 120 watts AC/DC
• Frequency response looks like 235hz-6Khz

HyperEar

HyperEar is a Hyper-efficient acoustic listening device for covert or long range recording of targets.  HyperEar leverages the patented HyperSpike technology but utilizes the concept in reverse where an Iso-phasic ring array of proprietary transducers surrounds a Hyperboloid reflector producing a coherently summed output of many microphone elements to a single channel of audio.

• Useable range is 500+ meters
• Frequency response is 30hz-20Khz

• Covert recording of targets
• Long range 2-way communication when used in conjunction with Hyperspike acoustic projectors
• Intrusion detection.

Cascaded Linear Array Subwoofer (CLAS)

CLAS is a Patented low frequency generator capable of extraordinary amplitude at low and infrasonic frequency.  Versions of this device were used in the 2004 Gulfstream Aerospace /Nasa SASS II sonic boom simulator program.  These devices engineered for specific applications, and can span useable bandwidths between 6-100hz at very high amplitude. The CLAS technology is completely scalable based upon frequency and specific amplitude outputs and allowable application footprint.

CLAS Applications:

• Sound reinforcement
• Land infrasonic frequency generation source for simulators
• Noise cancellation at very low frequency
• Commercial Cinema
• And many more...
  

Sonic Boom Simulator System (SBSSII)

The SBSII Technology was developed for the Gulfstream Aerospace/NASA/General Dynamics consortium as a Stage-1 project under the sonic boom-less business jet program entitled “Gulfstream Whisper”.  The technology was developed to simulate planes flying faster than the speed of sound over the continental USA.  The purpose of these simulations was to evaluate a proposed new FAA minimum requirement that would allow such planes to fly over populated areas.  This allowed for environmental studies to be conducted prior to passing the new laws.

SBSS was created using a very specific engineered version of CLAS infrasonic generation devices and other technology to analytically reproduce an "N shockwave" best defined as a sonic boom. These simulators allow the manufacturers of special shaped wave aircraft designs the ability to listen to the shockwave as it would be perceived on the ground prior to building and flying a physical airplane.

Progressive spacing CLAS subwoofer topology (PCLAS)

The PCLAS Technology R&D work is aimed at improving the standard equidistant spacing in the CLAS subwoofer topology. Increased directivity of each module allows for an even tighter pattern control at ULF frequency both in a singular device and multiple module bass arrays. PCLAS also offers an increase in system efficiency with no cost in size or weight or specialized transducers.

Infrasound would be a powerful ultra-low frequency (ULF) weapon that could be directional and tunable, penetrating buildings and vehicles. High Intensity infrasound could induce disorientation and reduce sensory motor functions.  Existing technology is not viable as a non-lethal deterrent, since large banks of speakers were required to provide directionality, and power demands were excessive.

PCLAS Applications:

• Sound reinforcement
• Battle noise generation
• Low frequency noise cancellation
• Non-lethal weapon or deterrent
• Perimeter and confined room defenses
• Commercial theatre
• Theatrical special effects

Low Dispersion Microwave Projector (LDMP)

LDMP is a Low dispersion high amplitude broadband Hyperboloid microwave projector system.  The system will provide Long-range Radar and directed beam energy using pulsed energy and RF communications antenna technologies that will improve on conventional approaches.

LDMP Applications:

• Long range data/communications and directed energy beam systems
• Non-lethal energy deterrent devices
