Areté Associates is a world leader in the development and production of advanced active and passive electro-optical (EO) sensors.
Areté specializes in developing advanced systems and algorithms to detect man-made objects in highly cluttered environments.
- Sea mines
- Beach laid mines and mine-fields
- Underwater vehicles
- Military vehicles under foliage
Areté’s breadth of knowledge and capability in physical modeling and EO system engineering enables rapid development of advanced systems that exploit newly discovered phenomenology.
Areté has developed several unique large format passive EO sensor systems for use in airborne
- Ocean surveillance
- Bathymetry, current, sea state estimation
- Land surveillance
- Passive 3D imaging
- Precision targeting
Areté’s extensive experience in ocean physics, ocean sensor engineering, and field experimentation blend perfectly for the development of specialized oceanic, in-situ sensors.
Areté has developed a variety of oceanic
in-situ sensors to measure a wide range of parameters for numerous military and oceanographic applications. Sensors have been developed to
- Spatially and temporally characterize the physical and optical properties of the water column
- Provide test-specific ground-truth parameter measurements aimed at the development of physics-based algorithms
Areté has extensive experience designing and manufacturing compact and robust EO systems for a diverse set of challenging military platforms.
Areté has developed sensors that are deployed on a variety of military and commercial platforms, including
- Helicopters
- Fixed-wing aircraft
- Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s)
- Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV’s)
- Towed vehicles
- Robotic vehicles
