President Roosevelt called December 7th, 1941, “A date which will live in infamy.”
Today is the anniversary of the surprise Japanese attack on the US fleet at Pearl Harbor. Sadly, we no longer even hold ceremonies commemorating that day. As our greatest generation passes on, let us honor their sacrifices to keep America free.
I’d also like to take a moment of silence for the 2402 Americans who were lost on that day, along with the hundreds more who were wounded during the attack.
Aspen Water, Inc. is a long-standing company in the business of water purification technology, having provided portable water purification systems to the US military and various disaster relief organizations for almost 20 years. Most recently, Aspen Water supplied all the systems and bladders to two major camps in Puerto Rico, in support of the post-hurricane relief efforts. They also had a system set up in Houston after the massive flooding earlier this year.
Here’s a video of a North Carolina-based Baptist relief organization demonstrating the Aspen 3300M water filtration system for use in their relief efforts in Puerto Rico.
The 3300M is a fully-enclosed fresh water purification system, capable of processing up to 3300 gallons of water per day, up to 150 gallons per hour. It utilizes a multi-stage filtration system which, step-by-step:
1) Removes large debris
2) Small debris and harmfull organisms down to 1 micron in size
3) Man made pollutants and other contamination via a media canister
4) Disinfection via UV lamp
5) Post-filtration which removes tannins
The entire unit operates on single phase 90 to 260 volts AC at 50 or 60 hertz as well as 10 to 30 volts DC, from virtually any power source, with a maximum power consumption of less than 200 watts. An on-board battery, fully charged, lasts 2-3 hours.

Hamburg, 6 December 2017 – As part of a major product demonstration on the Airbus airfield in Hamburg-Finkenwerder, HENSOLDT, the leading independent sensor house, provided proof of the excellent performance of its Xpeller counter-UAV system when it comes to protecting airports and critical infrastructure.
HENSOLDT demonstrated counter-UAV measures using a combination of radar, RF and optical sensors and a targeted jammer to representatives from the police, industrial companies, airport operators and armed forces. For this, the individual elements of the system were positioned in such a way as to ensure optimum surveillance of the whole area. This involved seamlessly integrating Xpeller into the airfield’s infrastructure and proving its compatibility with all the other local systems. Xpeller also managed to reliably detect UAVs starting from different locations. The visitors considered it to be a particular success that the HENSOLDT system was able to reliably detect even extremely small UAVs at a distance of several kilometres and to identify them as threats.
The modular Xpeller product family includes various sensors such as radar, camera and radio frequency detectors as well as direction finders and jammers. Xpeller uses sensors to detect and identify a drone and assess its threat potential at ranges from a few hundred metres up to several kilometres. Based on real-time analyses of the control signals, a jammer then interrupts the link between drone and pilot or interferes with its navigation. The modular Xpeller system concept relies on the selection of individual devices from the product family depending on customer requirements and local conditions.
