Advanced Capabilities and Systems
We are a multidisciplinary team that provides timely, technology agnostic solutions to the most challenging U.S. defense and intelligence needs. We conceptualize systems to meet these needs and then develop the systems in a fast cycle of experimentation and prototyping. We work closely with government intelligence and military users to identify the requirements for their unique missions. We have prototyped optical, RF, and acoustic sensors and built innovative autonomous vehicles for tactical and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. Algorithms developed for our experimental systems are enabling advanced signal and image processing, enhanced geolocation, and aircraft autonomy. Our military sponsors frequently deploy our prototypes to operational use.
