Personal Counter-RCIED System (Dynamo)

A SINGLE SOLUTION FOR MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS

The dangers of RCIEDs are not confined to the battlefield. They are an issue for every country, a threat to anyone, anywhere at any time. Therefore the ability to have a layer of protection from an RCIED for the dismounted soldier, border patrol, police, security services and first responders, can mean the difference between life and death. Dynamo provides this layer of protection, offering an ultra-compact, lightweight and reliable solution to enable confidence and freedom of manoeuvre for personnel.

As the device is intuitive to operate with a low SWaP profile, it’s suitable for a wide variety of personnel acting in austere environments, from private security professionals and first responders, to high-end special operations users. Due to the consumable and inexpensive nature of Dynamo, it is more accessible than alternative counter-RCIED systems on the market, enabling those with fewer resources and available budgets to protect themselves against the RCIED threat.

The Advancing Threat

Attacks by insurgent and terrorist groups have grown increasingly sophisticated over the last 15 years. Terrorists favour
IEDs because of their proven ability to inflict mass casualties, destroy property, cause fear and disruption and attract media attention.

RCIEDs can be assembled with relative ease and used remotely. The ability to design and deploy these against a range of targets from troop convoys, forward operational bases, sports stadiums and concert venues as well as against VIPs, has grown exponentially.

The range of devices that can be used to initiate an attack has spread across the electronic spectrum requiring a high level of electronic counter measures to neutralise the threat.

For military and security personnel operating in hostile and hazardous environments, where there is a known threat of RCIED attacks, a system to counter this threat is a vital piece of every day equipment to protect the lives of at-risk personnel.

The Solution

Dynamo is a personal electronic counter measures (ECM) system from L3Harris, designed to meet this requirement. The system is inexpensive, has a low size, weight and power (SWaP) profile and requires no training to operate.

The light-weight personal device provides an agile, convenient solution to protect against the threat of RCIEDs for personnel on the move.

Australian Innovation to Prevent the Event

Dynamo is expertly engineered by Micreo, an Australian-based subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies, Inc., the agile global aerospace and defence technology innovator. Micreo is the Australian partner of choice for sovereign design and manufacture of highreliability electronic warfare subsystems using wideband RF technology to detect, guide and protect, achieving spectrum dominance in extreme operating environments.

As a trusted design and production partner to the Australian Department of Defence and exporter to global defence primes, we provide faster times to market and lower costs through utilising revolutionary technology.

We have highly skilled personnel operating in fully equipped and security cleared production facilities set up to produce high-volume, military-grade electronics hardware. We are one of the few Australian manufacturers to be accredited to AS9100D with no exclusions, providing customers with the assurance of using high-quality, high-reliability equipment.

Dynamo – personal counter-RCIED system

RCIEDs can be built relatively easily and cheaply using readily available components and triggered by devices such as mobile phones. This has led to them becoming a common, and often preferred, weapon for adversaries, posing a very real and evolving threat to military and security personnel.

Protecting Forces on the Ground

Dynamo creates an electronic force protection zone around the person carrying the device. At less than 1 kilogram, its low SWaP profile means it’s an agile, convenient system for personnel on the move.

Protection for Police and First Responders

RCIEDs pose a serious threat to daily operations of emergency responders in high-threat regions even when conducting routine response activities. Dynamo can provide a cost effective everyday solution to protect those at risk.
