Item 8.01. Other Events
On August 1, 2011, the USMC issued a Sources Sought Notice (the “SSN”) soliciting a request for information for funding mine roller enhancement reduction and clearance systems. The SSN requests information to find production ready solutions suitable for funding, states that the system shall be used to reduce the impact of electrically activated Improvised Explosive Devices (“IED”) by neutralizing the IEDs before the crew compartment of the prime mover passes over the device and provides certain capability and other requirements which the system must meet. The Company intends to submit a full cost proposal and supporting data in accordance with the SSN’s specifications.
The Company previously announced that it had completed the work on its contract with the US Marine Corps (the “USMC”) for its counter-IED technology and that under the completed contract, the Company built a newer version of a system based on its counter-IED technology and the USMC tested the system in May 2011. The Company was first informed by the USMC during an afternoon meeting on August 9, 2011 that the USMC has now revised the specifications for the system’s speed and size and as otherwise outlined in the SSN, and therefore will not pursue a project based on the Company’s system that was tested.
On August 2, 2011, the Company was issued a patent for an invention relating to igniting explosive devises through electric and/or electromagnetic discharge following the removal of a secrecy order. The patent claims priority to and the benefit of the earlier filing date from the Company’s provisional patent application filed on May 3, 2005.
