Description

Due to the complexity of our development work, we are majority professional level scientists and engineers (PhD, MS, and BS). Our professional staff act as project leaders and we instill a full spectrum of responsibility and project ownership. Project leaders will own a concept from concept, to design of experiments or modeling, to fabrication, to testing, to data analysis, to reporting and presentation. Project leaders are supported by experienced technicians (explosive, carpenters, welders, electricians, machinists, etc.) and our administrative staff. We also have multiple roles filled by subject-matter experts contractors on a part-time basis. EMPI has two main facilities: our headquarters in Round Rock, TX and test or test site near Burnet, TX - A 6000 sq. ft building houses our engineering, management, and administrative offices. - Our 12000 sq. ft building is divided into multiple safety zones for explosives storage, processing, and assembly.

Special details

Our engineering office houses a 10m indoor gun range with multiple test barrel calibers and reloading equipment, and a 600 sq. ft machine shop provide precise and fast turn-around capabilities for prototype, and tooling fabrication. At our test facility, a 1000 sq. ft dirt pad is used as a test arena with a control room and storage. The arena is customizable for multiple diagnostics including high-speed video, pressure sensors, unconfined momentum traps, witness screens, frag collection packs, etc. Heavy equipment (skidsteer, dozers, and front-end loader) is available onsite. Nearby a unique 150ft deep lake is available for underwater ballistics and explosives testing. To support past programs, we have a 10 x 22 ft pontoon shuttle boat that usually serves as a work space and tool barge. Also on the lake, is a custom 10 x 40 ft catamaran with electric wenches to raise and lower test fixtures to precise depths. Divers are available on as needed basis to support testing.
