VIASPACE (VSPC)
VIASPACE Announces U-HUNTER Licensed From Caltech for Improvised Explosive Detection (IED) System PASADENA, Calif., July 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VSPC - News), a spin-off of Caltech/NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory that transforms proven space and defense technologies into hardware and software products that solve today's complex problems, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary Arroyo Sciences acquired an exclusive license to U-HUNTER technology. Funded by the US Army Corps of Engineers at Caltech/NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the U-HUNTER technology was originally developed for inferring the presence of buried explosives and explosive waste based on the exploitation of electromagnetic, magnetic and multi-spectral sensors. U-HUNTER was extensively validated and certified by analyzing remediation survey data from formerly-used defense sites at McKinley Range, Umatilla, and Camp Simms. The announcement was made by AJ Abdallat, COO of VIASPACE. The project, code-named USCAN, extends Caltech licensed U-HUNTER technology to a new generation of systems for rapidly isolating human suicide bombers wearing camouflaged explosives on their bodies, as well as detecting subsurface IED buried under roads using vehicle mounted sensors. The IED threat is a common low-tech terrorist tactic that has become a major threat in recent months, leading to an increasing loss of US military and civilian lives overseas. U-HUNTER will provide an enabling capability for automatically detecting signatures of ordnance (such as bombs, guided missiles, mortars, mines, demolition charges, etc.), shrapnel from active and electromagnetic sensors. Arroyo Sciences is developing both a wall-mounted and portable capability for rapidly isolating a human suicide bomber wearing explosive belts based on fusion of ultra hi-resolution thermal sensor driven by U-HUNTER computational engine. On-camera software can make a screening detection call in real-time and potentially isolate threats from 50-100 ft away. |
