Overview

Sensing & Spectrum

Decisive advantage increasingly runs through the electromagnetic spectrum and the acoustic domain. We design the algorithms, waveforms, and sensor-processing workflows that turn raw signal into mission advantage, from airborne and surface RF to space-based sensing.

WHAT WE WORK ON

Signals Are the Terrain

Designing the sensor

Radar, electronic warfare, electro-optical, acoustic, and communication systems begin with the physics of what can be sensed. We design the waveforms and modes, then build the real-time pipelines that turn raw signal into intelligence under the binding constraints of compute, latency, and power. We prove the result first in the lab, then in space, in the air, on the surface, and undersea.

From detections to decisions

A detection is not a track, and a track is not an answer. We develop the tracking and fusion algorithms that hold a target through clutter, dropouts, and deception, so what reaches an operator is stable enough to act on and has an accurate estimate of its own uncertainty.

Contesting the spectrum

We build the techniques and countermeasures that deny adversaries the spectrum they depend on, and we harden our own systems against their electronic warfare. Same physics, opposite objectives; the only way to be good at one is to work on the other.

Working the acoustic domain

The subsea environment is unforgiving; limited bandwidth, attenuation, multipath, and an ocean full of clutter. We develop sonar algorithms, acoustic processing, transducer arrays, and deployable platforms, including seabed nodes, to deliver continuous intelligence streams. We work the effects side of the acoustic domain as well as the sensing side.

Sensing from orbit

We are deploying RF sensors in space and building the processing architectures behind them. On-orbit compute is scarce and downlink is expensive, so the judgment about what matters has to happen on the spacecraft.

What We Can Tell You


RF Adversary Emulation

Our SIREN system enables high-power-density emulation of integrated air defenses to create realistic combat conditions.

Library of over fifteen preprogrammed advanced threats, with active expansion underway

Rapidly reprogrammable for emerging threats

Remote command and control supports manual waveform and frequency scheduling as well as the activation of predefined missions

Accelerating the Generation of Assured Patches

AI systems can find and exploit vulnerabilities faster than defenders can analyze and patch them. Our Axle static code analyzer uses lightweight formal methods to prove assurance properties of generated patches, reducing the gap from discovery to patch.

Tailorable correctness definitions separate useful findings from noise

Users can tune the scope and formalization level of defined properties

Query language prioritizes efficient formal verification
