Northrop Grumman's Firescout unmanned helicopter is programmed on the ground via a laptop computer.
ICI designed a chassis system to hold and protect the laptop while it is tethered to the UAV.
The cradle contains an electronics tray that processes the helicopter's signal before feeding it into the laptop.
From a damaged F-18 bulkhead, and utilizing customer 2D paper drawings and mold line data, IGES surfaces, ICI Created 3D parametric solid model.
Then resolve 2D, and 2D to 3D geometric inconsistencies typically found with this type of electronic conversion. Drawings from the parametric solid model verify developed sections to the original 2D paper drawings.
Aereon Marine's hinge supports watertight doors on the mega yacht Reverie.
ICI was given a broken hinge that had not been up to the task and has made significant improvements to the design.
Material choice has been improved and the link design has been changed for increased weight bearing capacity and slower wear.
Geodetics ENPU is a high precision GPS receiver.
ICI worked on both the electrical and mechanical designs in parallel in order to achieve the compact form factor.
A special heat sink was designed around the CPU to keep the unit operating in hot climates.
Cubic's GATES lock is an electronically controlled padlock for intermodal shipping containers.
The armored case discourages brute force attacks.
Electronics monitor the lock's current state to detect and log physical attacks.
ICI's innovative hydraulic locking mechanism allows the lock to cinch up tight against the container bars and resist attempts to force the lock open yet uses little electrical power to operate and is cost effective to manufacture.
L3's Impulse Tube is used for testing the effects of a pressure wave on sample materials.
It is used to research more effective armor to protect personnel against the effects of a bomb blast.
The pressure wave is created by first charging the breach end of the tube with high pressure gas. As more gas is added the pressure increases until a plastic diaphragm retaining the gas in the breach ruptures.
The pressure wave travels down the tube and impacts the test article placed at the far end.
ICI's Create Robot is a flexible demonstration vehicle designed to showcase Spark Integration's DIOS communications software.
The robot's strong central skeleton allows quick access to all components for fast setup and configuration.
The robot integrates many existing off the shelf components into one mobile platform.
ICI's HIM and UCP connects any electronic device to the DIOS (Distributed Integration Operating Schema) network.
The DIOS network, developed by Spark Integration, is a small footprint, low overhead, distributed software platform for data communication.
Each HIM contains a configurable I/O board set to adapt to the communications needs of the specific electronics device to be put on the network.
