Many factors can make exiting a
vehicle difficult and dangerous in
theater, such as limited visibility
and obstructed doors. Getting out

between life and death. QinetiQ
North America helps warfighters
quickly exit vehicles in an emergency
with breakaway windshields/
windows and egress lighting.
Egress Systems
Egress Systems
BTAS Breakaway Transparent Armor System
Highlights
• Useful in any vehicle orientation
• Retrofittable: No vehicle modifications
required
• Controller kit uses redundant power source
to operate one or more BTAS windows on
command
• External activation for first responders
• Release multiple windows with single
command
www.QinetiQ-NA.com/survivability
Specifications
BTAS Summary
BTAS is a single-hand operable, vehicle emergency egress
system. BTAS will provide vehicle occupants alternative
points of egress with very low exertion of force. Vehicle
rollovers due to maneuvering in unstable terrain, or
IED threats encountered in combat, result in hindered
or delayed vehicle egress and potential loss of life.
Such vehicle rollovers may be encountered in combat
situations, or during vehicle training. The BTAS system
creates additional egress passages through windshields
and/or windows nearly instantly. The BTAS system
forces separation of transparent armor from the vehicle
surface. An internal handle requires low force exertion
to release the hold-back latch. Once actuated, energy
storage systems generate sufficient force to move a
200+ lb window from an overhead position.

www.QinetiQ-NA.com/survivability
Specifications
ECAMS Summary
QinetiQ North America’s ECAMS is an environmentally
efficient vehicle air management system that offers
improved fuel economy, higher reliability, extended
range and lower operating temperatures. ECAMS
efficiently removes radiator waste heat from the
engine compartment and eliminates the belt-driven
cooling fan, fan clutch, belts and pulleys. This returns
significant horsepower to the engine, while also
cutting underhood temperature and noise in half. The
reduction in underhood temperature significantly
extends the life of engine compartment components
and reduces heat transfer through the firewall, thus
lowering cabin temperatures.
• Provides major reduction in under hood
temperature from 300° F – 170° F
• Reduces fan and overall engine noise by 50%
• Reduces fuel consumption by 7%
• System can be designed as retrofit
• Reduces power draw to run fans

www.QinetiQ-NA.com/survivability
Specifications
Advanced Polymer Track Pad Summary
The Advanced Polymer Track Pad is a drop-in
replacement for existing track pads that significantly
reduces life cycle costs of the vehicle. Extensively
tested for wear and elastic hysteresis, the Advanced
Polymer Track Pad demonstrates increased durability
and lower heat buildup than traditional rubber track
pads. The flame retardant nature of the Advanced
Polymer Track Pad self-extinguishes during flammability
tests, increasing the vehicle’s mission capability and
significantly reducing the fire hazard associated with
burning tracks.
• Durability
- Projected to last 3-5 times as long as
standard track pads
- Wears evenly without major “chunking”
seen in rubber pads
• Heating
- Exhibits less heat buildup from elastic
hysteresis
• Flammability

PADS A-Sonde 3.0 Summary
The PADS Precision Air Drop System A-Sonde
enables aircrews to obtain in-situ weather
information for mission execution. The use of data
provided by the QinetiQ North America Dropsonde,
in conjunction with the PADS UHF Dropsonde
Receiver Sub-system (UHF-DRS) has resulted in a
70% improvement for impact point accuracy for
high-altitude ballistic airdrop systems. For guided
airdrop systems, the real-time data provided by
the PADS Dropsonde allows mission planners to
increase standoff distance and deliver cargo and

Specifications
CECIL Summary
Effective systems for secondary side maintenance (inspection,
cleaning, and foreign object retrieval) are essential to
ensure operational efficiency and long life for pressurized
water reactor (PWR) steam generators. Corrosion products
formed throughout the secondary cycle settle on top of the
tubesheet and promote degradation of the tube bundle.
Foreign objects introduced during initial fabrication or
maintenance activities impinge on tubes during operation
and can eventually wear through tube walls causing primary
to secondary leakage. CECIL is a turn-key system and includes
a remotely operated robotic drive system with locomotion
tilt and lance drive axes that will deliver flexible inter-tube
lance assemblies through existing handholes into a steam
generator 90-deg lanes for inspection, cleaning, foreign
object retrieval and bulk spray cleaning.
• Adopted by utilities internationally in over 5
countries
• Standalone turn-key system
• Flexible and adaptable system for various
geometries
• Remote operation up to 1000m away
• Small inter-tube gap access 0.1 in - 0.4 in
wide
• Remote inspection with high resolution
probes
• High pressure lance cleaning
- up to 10,000 psi/12 gpm
• Medium pressure multi-nozzle bulk cleaning
- up to 5,000 psi/40 gpm
• Operating Temperature up to 60oC
• Operating Humidity up to 100%
• Radiation level up to 1 Rad/hr
• 30 minute installation/removal
• Fiber-optic communication
• Modular design - easy to transport or store
