Bird-X, Inc.— BroadBand PRO targets pest birds with an unrelenting combination of four different sound types: distress cries — to indicate danger to pigeons, starlings, and gulls; predator cries — like falcons and hawks to add realism; general harassments for an all-bird defense; and ultrasonic waves to guard day and night. This technology eliminates the need to use multiple machines while providing sound variety. BroadBand PRO sound waves move from speaker to speaker for a constant, menacing defense. This “surround sound” attack forces birds to leave for good, yet it’s harmless to the birds and the environment. www.bird-x.com

Engineered Arresting Systems Corporation (ESCO) — The ESCO Vehicle Arresting System (VAS) provides customized non-lethal arrestment and containment solutions for transport vehicles, with zero to minimal damage to both vehicle and occupants, greatly reducing or eliminating the potential of user liability. ESCO’s VAS consists of two energy absorbers (brakes) that are installed on either side of a road and are joined by a cross-roadway net barrier. Prior to deployment, the net and engaging system is concealed in either an overhead structure or underground trench. When needed, the systems are activated via remote control or powered switch, placing them in position for use within two to three seconds. As a vehicle engages the system, the result is a gradual, controlled, “soft catch” stop. www.esco.zodiac.com
