Anti-Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) Technologies Navy SBIR FY2004.2 - Quick Response Topics Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2004.2 Topic No.: N04-902 Topic Title: Anti-Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) Technologies Proposal No.: N042-902-0541 Firm: AOptix Technologies, Inc. 580 Division St. Campbell, California 95008-6906 Contact: J. Graves Phone: (408) 583-1143 Web Site: www.aoptix.com Abstract: This solicitation seeks to apply novel Adaptive Optics (AO) technologies and high energy light based weapons to protect U.S. forces from Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) attacks. We plan to use our knowledge of AO to detect the launch, track and acquire the RPG projectile and then destroy or disable it with high-energy laser light. Our AO systems emit beams with minimized speckle and wander, resulting in tight diffraction-limited spots on targets. Benefits: It is unlikely that this solicitation would lead to a device with applicability beyond military purposes. Return
