Background

    The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is calling for interested 
applicants to submit their prototype electromagnetic (EM) devices for 
submission to NIJ's vehicle stopping Phase III testing--engineering 
field testing. Under this solicitation NIJ will provide grant funds for 
the following purposes:
     Performance of reasonable development work to advance an 
applicant's EM device to the status of a field-testable prototype;
     Support for applicant technical personnel to attend field 
testing; and
     Shipment of the prototype device and associated ancillary 
support equipment to and from the Phase III test site.
    Applicants must ensure that the EM device they propose for 
consideration satisfies NIJ's Phase III testing criteria for device 
type applicability, deployment capability, and physical and functional 
maturity.
    Interested organizations should call the National Criminal Justice 
Reference Service (NCJRS) at 1-800-851-3420 to obtain a copy of 
``Evaluation of Vehicle Stopping Electromagnetic Prototype Devices: 
Phase III--Engineering Field Test'' (refer to document no. SL000298).
