Defense Contractor to Produce Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System

 

General Atomics, a defense contractor in San Diego, Calif., announced it will produce the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) for the John F. Kennedy aircraft carrier under a contract from the U.S. Navy. The EMALS system uses bursts of electromagnetic energy to launch planes and jets into the air. It takes up less space on ships, … [Read more...]

Military Radio Frequencies May Interfere with Garage Door Openers

 

Remote-control garage door openers near the Blue Grass Army Depot in Richmond K.Y. may stop working due to military radio systems switching to a new frequency range. The U.S. military will switch all land mobile radios (LMRs) to new frequencies, which are also the same frequencies used by certain unlicensed consumer devices, like garage door openers. These frequencies have … [Read more...]

Blog Asks: Are Cell Phones Harmful to Human Health?

 

Electromagnetic radio frequencies emitted from cell phones and other electronic devices remains a topic of debate due to possible health concerns. Cell phones produce low levels of non-ionizing radiation. Thus far, “extensive research into the health effects of these devices has only produced inconclusive evidence,” according to VOA News. The wireless industry and other … [Read more...]
