Key Considerations for Algorithm Training and Real-World Simulation
ECS is helping the DoD to create new military applications by training AI/CV in simulated real-world environments.
Radar Instrumentation
State-of-the-art radar systems and sensors
ECS engineers pioneered precision instrumentation radar technology for the Department of Defense (DoD) in the 1970s. For decades, we have worked on some of the most important innovations in radar instrumentation and sensor technologies. ECS radar systems are used by the DoD and major defense contractors for RCS verification, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging, and inverse-synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging. ECS radar systems are used in research and development (R&D), production verification, and flight line diagnostic applications. As our nation’s defense capabilities continue to evolve, ECS scientists and engineers contribute mission-critical research to develop, test, deploy, and field new technologies that keep DoD missions moving forward and protect our warfighters.
