National Security Systems Division

As our nation’s adversaries become more asymmetric and sophisticated, our ability to collect, manage, and exploit an ever-increasing volume of data to produce actionable intelligence and situational awareness must become more diverse and agile.

Our National Security Systems Division (NSSD) addresses the emerging needs of the Intelligence and Defense communities by providing sensor-signal-processing- and information-exploitation-based subsystems, products, and services. In response to our customer’s most pressing needs, NSSD has developed:

		Advanced sensors and signal processing products to address specialized challenges in remote sensing and clandestine collection for the intelligence and DoD communities. We develop end-to-end system simulations to evaluate alternative architectures for persistent reconnaissance and surveillance, operational planning tools, and system requirements for coherent change detection and hyperspectral analysis. NSSD pioneered the development of coherent processing and advanced anomaly detection for synoptic, long wavelength synthetic aperture radar (SAR) coverage of wide regions of the world, resulting in persistent surveillance of countries and continents of interest.
		The neu-VISION™ family of portable neutron inspection systems, based on associated particle imaging technology, that addresses the need to detect explosives and chemical weapons and drugs concealed in solid containers/vehicles. The neu-VISION family is a cost-effective, clandestine through-barrier neutron inspection system for military, intelligence, and homeland security use. It provides rapid 3-D visualization and elemental identification of dangerous materials and contraband obscured by walls and other barriers, including steel and concrete. This technology provides warning of threats associated with through-wall breaching; detects and identifies explosives, including IEDs and unexploded ordnance; and supports cargo/portal screening for explosives, chemicals, and drugs.
		An extensive menu of advanced information management and exploitation products designed to create situational awareness from extremely large sets of diverse multi-INT data. Designed to be easily integrated and tailored to satisfy various user requirements, these products provide plug-and-play capabilities for data mining, anomaly detection and classification, trending, network analysis, attention focusing filtering, and hypothesis generation and testing.
		Small, low power advanced navigation and obstacle avoidance systems tailored for deployment in specialized collection environments that provide superior accuracy relative to other available systems, enabling critical collection operations.
NSSD addresses the following market segments
		Homeland security
