SCV Quality Solutions LLC could be the first aspiring missile defense contractor in the business to also boast a line of tennis shoe products and accessories. (The FeetSoCool insole, anyone? Just $19.95+shipping.)
But the Madison, Alabama-based retailer is apparently not content with selling merely shoe products, handy clothes hangers and flag pole gadgets.
SCV apparently wants to help the US military thwart everything from incoming mortar rounds to intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). The company's owner -- Samuel C. Vickroy (initials: SCV) -- was awarded a patent earlier this week for a "system and method for intercepting a projectile".
Vickroy's concept is ... er, unusual. Rather than fire a missile or laser to destroy the incoming round, Vickroy's design wraps the incoming warhead in a exospheric-opening blanket and parachute the whole package gracefully to the ground.
But don't rely on my humble words to describe it. Check out the pictures!
