Areté’s heritage in ocean remote sensing has led to the development of a rigorous and disciplined approach to solving exceptionally complex problems. Such problems often involve detection and characterization of weak signals, in heavy clutter, over a large area. Our disciplined approach to such problems involves:

• Rigorous understanding of target and background phenomenology to define the exploitable signatures and provide unparalleled physics-based modeling and simulation capabilities;

• Robust detection, estimation, and tracking are enabled by rigorous statistical hypothesis testing;

• A proprietary methodology perfected over 35 years of research is applied to establish the optimal probability of detection emphasizing signature characterization and false alarm reduction;

• Disciplined engineering integrates technologies (hardware) and novel algorithms (software) to perform revolutionary sensor system development;

• Insightful and thorough field testing provides quantitative demonstrations of performance in an operational context;

• Strategic studies deliver a unique understanding of threats, missions, and current capabilities to identify how advanced technologies can address an operational need.

• Laser solutions are delivered through exceptional laser design and manufacturing capabilities 

• CMMI certified software development targeted at all scales of computing solutions
