Scientific Systems Company, Inc. (SSCI), a developer of technology solutions for defense and industrial suppliers, has been awarded a $750,000 grant from the U.S. Air Force to develop high-quality three-dimensional (3-D) imaging technologies for use in automated surveillance systems. The Small Business Investment Research (SBIR) grant leverages SSCI’s technology enabling intelligent autonomous land-based and aerial unmanned systems to perform their missions in hostile or challenging environments.
The SBIR program is seeking new technologies enabling future surveillance systems to capture very high-quality 3-D images of vehicles, buildings, terrain and other subjects using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology. SSCI will develop SAR 3-D imaging technology capable of providing uniform wide-area intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance gathering capabilities in all weather, both day and night. The technology will enable autonomous unmanned vehicles to navigate and identify targets on the ground. It will also enable highly accurate SAR 3-D aerial reconnaissance by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
