* Evaluation of Vehicle Stopping Electromagnetic Prototype
Devices: Phase III - Engineering Field Testing Solicitation
To curtail high-speed chases, NIJ is requesting applications
for prototype electromagnetic devices designed to stop motor
vehicles that are in motion. Approved applicants will provide
prototypes for field testing, with the hope of proceeding to
operational testing by law enforcement agencies.
The NIJ Solicitation, "Evaluation of Vehicle Stopping
Electromagnetic Prototype Devices: Phase III -
Engineering Field Testing," provides information on
application requirements and deadlines.
"Evaluation of Vehicle Stopping Electromagnetic Prototype
Devices: Phase III - Engineering Field Testing" (Solicitation)
(SL000298) is available on the...

High-speed vehicle pursuits continues to be a very serious problem for
State and local law enforcement officers throughout the United States.
Although pursuits occur more frequently in some areas of the country than
in others, no region or locality can be considered exempt from the
occurrence of pursuits, or from the potential property damage and human
injury or death resulting from them. Statistics indicate that high-speed
pursuits result in the loss of more human lives per year than in any other
police-related activity.
.....
In recent years, NIJ has been involved in promoting the development of
mechanical-type vehicle stopping technologies. These technologies have
principally been tire-deflating technologies, some of which have matured
and progressed into commercialization. However, other potentially useful
technologies such as EM methods appear to offer promise for stopping
vehicles as well, and NIJ intends to exploit their potential for application by
LEA's.
.....
NIJ is presently engaged in a four-phase, multi-year effort to investigate the
feasibility of EM technology to stop vehicles. Phases I and II are
completed. Phase I involved NIJ's solicitation of EM vehicle stopping
technology inventors and developers to submit their devices or concepts to
Phase II laboratory testing. From the EM devices that were proposed, NIJ
selected those that were subjected to Phase II testing. Phase II involved the
feasibility testing of the EM devices in a laboratory setting. In those tests,
the EM devices were applied to targeted vehicles that were either idling or
operating on a dynamometer with their engine and drive train engaged. The
Phase II test results support the viewpoint that EM technologies have
promise for eventual use in stopping vehicles.
.....
NIJ is seeking three different types of EM devices to be submitted to
Phase III testing. The first are electrostatic discharge (ESD)
devices, which produce a rapid, high-voltage transfer of charge
to a targeted vehicle upon direct physical contact with the vehicle.
The second type are non-nuclear, ultra-wide band electromagnetic pulse
(EMP) projected energy devices that radiate a solitary pulse of energy
omni-directionally through the atmosphere to a distant target vehicle. The
third type are high-power microwave (HPM) or radio frequency (RF)
projected energy devices that radiate continuous or repetitive-pulsed
energy directionally through the atmosphere to a distant targeted vehicle.
