\"RF<\/a>e2v technologies<\/a> is a British company which is diversified into the defense, space, medical, industrial, civil aeronautics, and security industries.\u00a0 They have a multitude of products that revolve around hi-reliability semi-conductors, lasers, radars, and the like.\u00a0 In their security and rescue division is the RF Safe-Stop System.<\/p>\n

The system uses a proprietary radio frequency emission to “confuse” the electronics of a car or ship thus bringing it to a halt.\u00a0 e2v says they have tested the RF Safe-Stop in low speed applications.\u00a0 Further testing is in the works.\u00a0 A prototype RF Safe-Stop is shown below\u00a0 in the bed of a pickup.<\/p>\n

\"SafeStop_300\"<\/a>I guess I am a bit skeptical about this program, since scrambling a car’s e-systems could potentially wipe out such important things as steering and braking.<\/p>\n

I am not surprised that low speed, straight line testing has been successfully completed, but adding in the variables of high speed and unpredictable driving (by a suspect) are likely to make this system dangerous for real world pursuit applications.<\/p>\n

ev2’s idea for this to be used in static vehicle checkpoints seems reasonable.\u00a0 More so, the RF Safe-Stop has definite potential in maritime activities such as harbor protection, anti-piracy, and drug interdiction uses.\u00a0 We will see where this technology leads…<\/p>\n
