Sensor Systems

CET specializes in the rapid development of state-of-the-art sensor systems into real-world payloads for government and commercial sectors.  Our innovation and experience produce creative and cost-effective solutions for our customers.  CET has developed extensive experience in:

• Electro-Optical (E/O)
• Hyperspectral and broadband imaging systems from UV thru LWIR
• RF imaging systems (active and passive)
• Remote sensing systems

As a necessary part of providing turnkey solutions, CET has developed highly modular, highly optimized multi-threaded multi-CPU-based software codes for real-time data acquisition and image processing.  This includes patented and patent pending algorithms for hyperspectral image processing; and statistical, iterative and numerical deconvolution image processing routines.

In addition to its own codes, CET has industry standard tools for complete mechanical, electrical, and optical design.  These include:

• 3-D computer-aided design (CAD), e.g. Pro/Engineer
• Finite element analysis (FEA), e.g. NASTRAN
• Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
• Dynamic and EM simulation (ADAMS, PIC)
• Optical systems design, e.g. ZEMAX
• Electrical systems simulation and design, e.g. Multisim, TopSpice, Altium
• Hyperspectral data processing, e.g. ENVI
• MAVIISS: Imaging system simulation
• OPNET: Network modeling and simulation
• In-house prototype machine shop and circuit board fabrication

Current activity at CET includes programs in hyperspectral enhanced digital night vision (EDEN), hyperspectral augmented airborne synthetic aperture radar (HyperSAR), and hyperspectral detection for perimeter and critical infrastructure security, and for integrated force protection (HyperIFP).
