Abstract: A single, flexible, robust and low rate capable manufacturing platform that may be associated with caseless munitions firing circuits, nano and microelectromechanical (“NEMS” and “MEMS”) devices, and/or fractal antennas is described. The platform may be designed for extensive research and development in printed electronics, 3D thermo-plastics and low melt metal casting, light machining, and other processing operations necessary for the integrated fabrication of various components, such as caseless munitions components. The platform may be used in a remote location.

Abstract: A system for monitoring a radio frequency identification (RFID) network, including a plurality of radio frequency (RF) antennas that transmit signals representative antenna data, an RF switch for isolating a signal from an antenna, a RF switch controller for controlling the RF switch, and a reader for reading the signals from the antennas, wherein the system only requires one reader to monitor the RFID network. A radio frequency integration platform (RFIP) monitors a plurality of RFID networks. The RFIP includes an RFIP server and an RFIP database for managing antenna and RFID network data.
