Electromagnetic Catapult Successfully Launches Dead Load Truck into River

 

Earlier this week, the U.S. Navy began dead load testing the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EALS) on the Gerald R. Ford CVN 78. The electromagnetic slingshot launched an 80,000 pound dead load truck into the James River in Virginia. The truck reportedly weighed as much as a jet. Even though the truck wasn’t airborne for too long before hitting the water, the test … [Read more...]

Automatic SAR Measurement Robot Debuts at IMS 2015

 

This week at the IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS), ART-Fi will showcase the “SARborg,” an automatic SAR measurement robot. The SARborg saves time, improves accuracy and repeatability, and is precise with its measurements. “We call it the SARborg, because it’s a robot that runs through batteries of SAR tests completely hands-free. We have essentially roboticized the … [Read more...]
