  • May 17, 2012Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company Launches Non-Lethal Vehicle Arresting Device
  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CHANDLER, AZ. (BUSINESS WIRE)—MAY 17, 2011 -- Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company, a premier supplier of energetic mission critical solutions, today formally announces a new Portable, Non-Lethal, Vehicle Arresting Device known as The Pit-BULTM, during a live demonstration at the Force Protection Equipment Demonstration (FPED VIII), 17-19 May 2011, at the Stafford Regional Airport, Stafford, Virginia. The Pit-BUL, which stands for Pit-Ballistic Undercarriage LanyardTM, uses its innovative technology to immobilize a wide range of vehicles and to cover a wide spectrum of applications including checkpoints, border crossings, asset/building entrances and exits, airports, and many other applications for pursuit management and traffic control situations. The system is concealed in the form of a speed bump, enabling an element of surprise. Pit-BUL can be quickly deployed and remains passive until remotely activated by the user from as far as 300 feet away. Once activated, the target vehicle is stopped safely and cannot escape. The system is so easy to use, that vehicles may be returned to drivable condition in less than 10 minutes. Unlike most traditional vehicle arresting devices that puncture the tires which frequently sends the vehicle out of control, the Pit-BUL technology and innovation offers an element of safety that could ideally eliminate a tragic outcome while stopping a vehicle. Over 225 tests have been performed on the Pit-BUL without any injuries or anomalies, and it is effective in capturing up to a 6,000 lb. truck at a speed of 40 mph. The DoD Non-Lethal Weapons Program supports non-lethal alternatives to prevent civilian casualties, and the Department of Homeland Security has made unlawful vehicle border crossing a priority. We will be on hand to answer any questions you may have during FPED VIII at booth 34H. A product video of the Pit-BUL is available online at: http://www.psemc.com/vehicle_arresting_technologies.html About Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company (PSEMC): PSEMC is the industry leader in the design, development, and production of ordnance, electronics, laser, pyrotechnic, and vehicle arresting components and systems for the defense, aerospace, and commercial sectors.

  • Jan 29, 2013PSEMC Receives Initial Contract Funding in the amount of $60 million from Lockheed Martin
  • Approved for Public Release 13-MDA-7155 (29 January 13) HOLLISTER, CA. (BUSINESS WIRE)— February 5, 2013 -- Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company (PSEMC), a premier supplier of energetic mission critical solutions, will begin another production lot of Laser Initiated Ordnance Systems (LIOS) for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) weapon system program.  The THAAD system is designed to defend U.S. and allied soldiers, military assets, and metropolitan areas from ballistic missile attack. The PSEMC LIOS provides the THAAD missile with an innovative solution for electronically sequencing ordnance events using laser light technology to initiate the explosive charges.  PSEMC’s LIOS also functions to terminate flight in the unlikely event of errant trajectory during missile powered flight. “LIOS supports critical THAAD missile flight events reliably and safely,” said Scott Sypek, General Manager of California Operations at Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company.  “When the launch command is received, LIOS severs the missile from its launch canister, ignites the missile’s boost motor and later separates the kill vehicle from the spent booster.  Our reliable laser initiation system has performed flawlessly in every mission to date.” Lockheed Martin, the THAAD prime contractor and systems integrator, also awarded Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company $15 million in initial contract funding for the Thermally Initiated Venting System (TIVS) – a safety feature that ensures missiles do not become propulsive or present a threat to support crews in the event of a ground fire. Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company has been developing and producing missile components for over 50 years, and has delivered over 100 LIOS ship-sets to date.  The assembly, integration and testing of LIOS takes place at both the PSEMC Hollister, California and Chandler, Arizona facility.

  • Nov 13, 2012IACP 2012 Best of Show!
  • Pacific Scientific and our partner StopTech received the rank of Best of Show during the IACP Chief of Police 2012 Conference for the Remotely Deployed Spike Strip! STOPTECH & PACIFIC SCIENTIFIC EMC -- REMOTE SPIKE DEPLOYMENT KIT StopTech is well known for its Stop Sticks. When deployed onto the road ahead of an approaching suspect’s car, the long device and its 36 quills per stick deflate the vehicle’s tires on contact. The company’s new creation, developed in partnership with Pacific Scientific EMC, is a remote deployment kit that keeps officers safer because they never need get near the road. Instead, the officer places a 24.5-pound case loaded with a folded Stop Stick device nearby. Press the button on the remote control, and a blank launches the Stop Stick, with an attached long, heavy bean bag exiting first to pull the device across the road and straighten it out. The entire case can be carried in the trunk of a cruiser. www.policemag.com/freeinfo/22335
