Diagnostic systems are used in Defense and Aerospace to address any number of “needle in a haystack” problems. Whether it’s a sniper in the woods, an underwater mine in murky water, or a missile plume against bright sunlight, Defense and Aerospace managers face common challenges. In these mission critical applications, lives depend on:

• Speed and accuracy
• Repeatability
• Reliability
• Data fidelity
• High signal to noise
• High dynamic range

Sydor Instruments has a track record of success in:

• Ballistics, Detonics & Energetics
• LIDAR
• Seabed/underwater imaging
• Early missile warning systems
• Muzzle flash/counterfire detection
• Night vision/imaging intensification
• Electronic warfare/countermeasures
• Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological detection for homeland security/cargo screening
• Remote sensing and optical augmentation

What do these have in common? A need for:

• Signal detection and discrimination—ie, the ability to distinguish between sunlight and a missile plume
• Clear differentiation between what you’re looking for and its complex background, and the ability to know what to do about it
• Making the invisible visible, when seeing through the fireball or other multi-spectral event

Your applications are unique, which necessitates a solution specific to your needs. If better data from images could further your mission, we’d appreciate the chance to talk further. Contact us.
