API’s patent pending Hawki Video Aiming Device is used by Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams to examine and dispose of explosive de- vices. The Hawki attaches to an EOD robot, auto- matically calculates distance to target and point of impact, and presents this information to an EOD technician on a video monitor. Using this informa- tion, the EOD technician may then safely dispose of explosive materials from a safe distance away.

API, through its subsidiaries, provides engineered systems, components and secure communications as well as high quality engineering services, new product introduction, and turnkey manufacturing for electronic assembly, test, and build services to the global defense and aerospace industry.
