National Leaders in Broadband Network Surveillance |
| |
AST is a nationally recognized leader in broadband network
surveillance. We develop and manufacture the sophisticated communications
support products and systems that are required to monitor and protect
high-capacity broadband networks from illicit communications and cyber
attacks. |
| |
Our technology can automatically scan and process tens
of thousands of signals simultaneously, including cellular telephone,
microwave, ship-to-shore, and military transmissions, in the radio frequency
(RF) spectrum in order to collect specific signals. Our broadband communication
products and systems can locate signals of interest and provide the
analysis and visualization tools that are necessary to ensure meaningful
intelligence, in time to make a difference. |
| |
Anticipating Trends in Communications Intelligence |
| |
Information gathering plays an important role in protecting
our homeland; however, the capacity of broadband communication signals
throughout the world is dramatically increasing, which makes them difficult
to process and analyze. |
| |
AST has devoted significant resources toward understanding
our customers’ missions, challenges, and expectations. Continuous
investment in internal research and development (IR&D) has enabled
us to provide signal reconnaissance systems that meet the current and
emerging needs of the U.S. Government. |
| |
Deep Mission Understanding |
| |
We understand how our customers do business and the challenges
they face. Whether it is a warfighter installing equipment in the field,
a user tasking the equipment, or an analyst evaluating the collected
signals—we understand. Mission-level understanding is critical
for ensuring on-time delivery of the highest-value information collection
systems. |
