High-G Magnetic Capture System

·         Meets U.S. Army requirements to stop a 60 lb projectile traveling up to 1,300 ft/s in a well-controlled, repeatable manner resulting in a high-g acceleration test event

·         Existing Sierra Lobo models enable accurate computational analysis to establish the feasibility and limitations of the designed device

·         Eliminates expendable materials, saving thousands of dollars per test event

·         Does not damage the projectile during deceleration, enabling projectile reusability

·         Selectable deceleration curve enables repeatable and accurate research results

·         Advanced magnetic capture technology is patent pending
