Research abstract
The CPDC brings on-demand shielding from hostile, disruptive, and damaging RF to the warfighter in contested EM environments. These CPDC capabilities fall under 4 operational categories: (1) switch mode, (2) limiter mode, (3) tuner mode, and (4) protection against EM pulses with nanosecond and sub-nanosecond rise time. In Phase II, Verus Research will Āmature the CPDC design, demonstrate a high power CPDC prototype, complete environmental testing, and deliver a operational device.
