Radars and Sensors

Physics-based simulation is one of our core competencies. Our engineers are able to develop design techniques and implement detailed component and system-level modeling/analysis requirements. We focus on radar functions, threats, timelines, weapon systems, clutter, and electronic attack/electronic protection support.

We are well equipped to design complex sensor algorithms. Our experts can provide solutions for detection processes, waveform selection, signal processing, clutter and electronic attack mitigation, adaptive beamforming, and target identification.

Our engineers are able to design and analyze components such as antennas, exciters, transmitters, multichannel receivers, high-bandwidth receivers, and state-of-the-art processors. Radar frequency laboratory equipment development and integration, software development and test, and real-time hardware-in-the-loop and field test support are also key to providing tools for our customers.

We have developed various innovative techniques to handle the high volume of data required for modern radar systems analysis. We provide unique methods to analyze and visualize data required to understand the signals and the radar systems using these signals.

We support extensive efforts in the simulation, modeling, and analysis of RF seekers. We have developed several RF seeker simulation tools, including the Generic Seeker Simulation (GENSS)—a physics-based, fully closed-loop seeker simulation tool that models active, semiactive, and passive RF seekers. We have a long history of RF missile seeker systems performance evaluation. In addition, we have made significant advances in miniaturization, sensor technology, and information processing for seekers to provide greater accuracy.

As weapon systems become increasingly sophisticated, accurate prediction, measurement, and modeling of signatures are even more essential to our national security.

We offer expertise in acoustic propagation, acoustic modeling, measurement, and analysis to measure unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), aircraft, ground vehicle, and architectural signatures and classify the threat.

Our team can create IR signature models for threat signature prediction/analysis, verification of targets and countermeasures, and thermal hardbody analysis.

We offer target detection and classification studies for ground systems, as well as target detection and tracking analysis for space systems.

We are instrumental in all phases of RF signature modeling including requirements definition, design and optimization, prediction and modeling, static and dynamic measurements, and verification and validation.
