Abstract: There is disclosed a filter for a vehicle window comprising a layer of filter material, the layer of filter material being for substantially preventing the transmission of radiation at a first predetermined visible wavelength band, the first predetermined visible wavelength band covering the wavelength of a predetermined laser threat, whilst substantially allowing visible wavelengths outside of the band to be transmitted, such that the filter can offer a visible light transmission of at least 70%, and a radiation detector, such that radiation at the first predetermined wavelength band can be detected.

Abstract: An antenna 300 comprising a housing 310 with an internal cavity 315. The cavity 315 holds an adjustable amount of electrically conductive liquid, and a twin-conductor feedline 350 connects the antenna 300 to a receiving and/or transmitting device. The conductive liquid in the cavity 315 of the antenna housing 310 acts as a first element and receives/transmits signals from/to the first feedline conductor, whilst the second feedline conductor is attached to electrical ground 320.

Abstract: A surveillance apparatus includes a retractable support member; a housing; a spooling mechanism mounted at the housing, and being rotatable relative to the housing, and being attached to a second end of the retractable support member. The spooling mechanism is operable to rotate in a first direction to convert the retractable support member from a coiled condition to an extended condition and thereby pay-out the support member from the housing, and operable to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first to convert the retractable support member from the extended condition to the coiled condition and thereby retract the support member into the housing. A mount is attached to a first end of the retractable support member; a surveillance device is attached to the mount.

Abstract: In some examples, a non-incendiary tracer projectile structure for housing an electrically powered illumination source comprises a jacket comprising a generally pointed forward end and a generally blunt rearward end defining a rear opening, an internal retaining structure disposed towards the rearward end of the jacket to support a protective window that is transparent to a selected electromagnetic wavelength, wherein a portion of the rearward end of the jacket tapers in a radially inward direction whereby to define a circumferential narrowing of the rear opening so configured as to mechanically protect the internal retaining structure.

Abstract: A method of forming a conformable filter for a vehicle window, comprising the steps of: —selecting at least a first wavelength corresponding to a predetermined laser threat; —providing a conformable photosensitive film and exposing said film to radiation from a focused laser source of said first wavelength to create a first filter region therein configured to substantially block incident radiation thereon substantially only of said first wavelength; —determining if an essential lighting source outside or inside the vehicle includes said first wavelength and, if so, —selecting a bandwidth corresponding to a first predetermined wavelength band including said first wavelength and exposing said polymeric film to radiation from one or more further laser sources of respective different wavelengths within said first predetermined wavelength band to create a notch filter region therein, including said first filter region, said notch filter region being configured to substantially block incident radiation thereon at wavelengths within said first predetermined wavelength band whilst substantially allowing visible wavelengths outside of said first predetermined wavelength band to be transmitted therethrough, and wherein said bandwidth is selected to optimise visibility through said filter of said essential lighting source.
