Areté’s CBRNE (Chemical Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Enhanced [Improvised] Explosives Threat) expertise & partnering strategy spans a wide range of interests from Technical Readiness Level (TRL) 1 research collaborations to the delivery of TRL6 sensing modules. All elements are built upon Areté’s 30+ years of delivering solutions to the hardest national security problems.
Within the CBRNE community, Areté is working with its partners on a wide scope of programs ranging from advanced Chemical-Biological (CB) detection networks, to the use of advanced analytics to expand current biosurveillance and bioforensic capabilities. Whether it’s the need to enhance the performance of legacy systems or to provide enabling algorithm methods to new sensor platforms, Areté’s agile team of scientists are experienced in working hand in hand to deliver timely solutions.
Advanced Algorithm Development & Implementations – Since its inception, Areté has been at the leading edge of advanced signal processing methods. Whether the domain resides in the traditional EO space or applied to the rising challenges of new data modalities such as social media interpretation or metagenomic information processing, Areté’s detection methods can provide actionable outputs. Key areas of expertise include:
|
Weak Signal Detection via Likelihood Processing |
- Clutter suppression
- False Alarm Rate (FAR) mitigation with PoD stability
- Real-time processing
- Agnostic sensor network optimization via tracking methods
- Advanced signal-processing (full EO spectrum)
- Analysis of massive, unstructured heterogeneous data sets
- Analyst attention focusing tools.

Delivery of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Complete Sensing Modules – Areté provides a family of point bio-detection platforms which can be custom configured to meet a wide range of end-use applications. Ideally suited for fixed, remote or mobile applications, Areté’s Threat Reduction Advancement Processor (TRAP) has been designed to provide low Size, Weight and Power (SWaP), robust, and timely trigger, and trigger–collection capabilities. In addition to provision of key sensing elements, Areté is well versed in the development and execution of test protocols and methods to insure that key metrics are properly validated. Additionally, Areté has applied its knowledge gathered from its platform developments to enhance and augment the capabilities of 3rd sensing platforms, all with the goal of providing a truly platform agnostic approach to threat reduction.
