See What Isn't Visible,
Know What Isn't Obvious

Automatic target recognition for radar, SAR, X-ray CT and mmWave, all trained on physics-simulated data.

Approach

Pipeline: scene and materials, ray-traced sensor physics, labeled dataset, trained detector.
  1. 01

    Simulate the sensor

    Ray-traced signal-material interaction beyond the visible

  2. 02

    Generate the dataset

    Perfect automatic ground truth, seconds to minutes per image

  3. 03

    Recognize the target

    From new threat to fielded detector in weeks, not months to years

First market

Counter-UAS target recognition, licensed to 4D imaging radar OEMs. A new radar model is a simulation run, not a data collection.

Moat

Specificity you cannot collect

Real collection gives you the drones you flew and the birds that happened past. We generate the whole confuser space, birds, rotor counts, weather and clutter, each labeled exactly, and train the classifier to separate them.

Simulation that transfers

Synthetic data alone doesn't transfer. We calibrate against real captures and adapt synthetic features with learned models, so detectors trained in simulation hold on live sensor output.

The library compounds

A threat or confuser modeled once is a class every customer's next update inherits. The library only grows, and no customer's data is in it. A threat seen in March cannot be collected in September. It can still be modeled.

We deliver trained detectors and classifiers, not images.

Capability

The signal, not the image

Modeled as radar sees it
Interiors, materials, and blades turning during the measurement. Off the shelf drone models are hollow shells. Radar sees the battery inside.
Full 4D imaging radar
Coherent output per element across the whole MIMO array. Range, Doppler, azimuth, elevation and polarization from one scene.
Fast enough to train on
Seconds to minutes per frame, against hours per sample for reference solvers. That gap is what makes a dataset possible.
Every layer is ours
No third party engine underneath. A new radar or band is a physics change on our side, not a vendor request.
