The need

A new era

America is vulnerable to new threats. Low cost drones accessible to anyone have proven they can evade traditional radar defense and inflict millions of dollars worth of damage to military and commercial infrastructure.

The nature and scale of our vigilance must be transformed. Radar technologies must become vastly more affordable and scaleable. They must detect new and emerging threats like drones and hypersonics. They must be built modular, highly portable and easily deployable. Likewise, the software that fuses, interpolates, and orchestrates action must outpace these new threats and help operators to cope with accelerated amounts of data—turning data overload into decision advantage.
