Lightweight shielded enclosures and systems provide a high level of acoustic, RF, EMI and EMP protection. Such enclosures and systems include one or more lightweight , non-conductive beams arranged to support a shielded covering.

An electrical power system for an aircraft may comprise a hybrid energy storage system, a first high voltage bus coupled to an input of said hybrid energy storage system, a second high voltage bus coupled to an output of said hybrid energy storage system, and a directed energy system coupled to the second high voltage bus. The hybrid energy storage system receives DC power via the input from said first high voltage bus, converts the DC power to a converted DC power, and dynamically stores the converted DC power and/or provides said converted DC power via said output to said directed energy system via the second high voltage bus.

A device is provided that is developed for use in both DIP and Motorized-type card readers installed in the card-operated payment stations usually and used for preventing the theft of the personal data stored in the payment card, to analyze and determine the foreign objects inserted in to the intake slot of the DIP or motorized card readers using a dynamic and adaptive software, to emit jamming signals in order to corrupt the data and prevent copying attempts, to prevent the physical entry of the card by activating a shutter system and to issue audible warnings to warn the users, to notify the central about the events taking place and to maintain the records of the events on the fixed memory card incorporated in the device.

A communication system is provided comprising a transmitter coupled to a switch, which is further coupled to at least two antennas for switching the transmit signal to one of the antennas, with no feedback. The communication system further comprises at least one receiver for receiving the transmitted signal.

The communication system in the present invention is able to help mitigate the effects of multipath. Previous attempts to mitigate the effects of multipath suffer from various problems: increased complexity needed to measure channel parameters and a feedback loop to switch the transmit antenna based on the parameters.

The system is particularly useful when deployed in a MAS system or a jamming system.

An apparatus and method for protecting a communication device of a railroad car is provided. The apparatus includes an antenna portion configured to include main antennas and an auxiliary antenna, a main receiver configured to check a magnitude of a received signal transferred through the main antennas of the antenna portion, an auxiliary receiver configured to check a magnitude of a received signal transferred through the auxiliary antenna of the antenna portion, and a controller configured to compare the magnitude of the signal received by the main receiver and the magnitude of the signal received by the auxiliary receiver, determine whether there is a jamming signal according to a comparison result, and take a preset countermeasure when it is determined that there is a jamming signal.

A technique for adaptively disrupting UAVs detects a target UAV using a camera, monitors the target UAV's communications using a directional antenna aligned with the camera, and attempts to communicate with the target UAV to request that it land, fly away, or return to launch. With the camera trained on the UAV, the directional antenna detects down-link signals from the UAV, which the UAV may employ to communicate with a ground-based controller. Control circuitry analyzes the down-link signals and generates a disrupting signal based thereon. The disrupting signal shares characteristics with the down-link signal, such as its protocol, bit rate, and/or packet length. The directional antenna transmits the disrupting signal back toward the UAV to affect the UAV's flight.
