By transmitting pulses and capturing the reflection of radio waves, radar sensors have been used since the second world war. Developed by Sir Robert Alexander Watson-Watt in the UK in 1935 , can detect and track aircraft, missiles, ships, and ground vehicles. Applications include air defense systems, missile guidance, and perimeter security. For example, ground-based radar systems can provide early warning for incoming missiles.

 

Acoustic sensors or we class under our MEMS products capture sound waves to
help detect potential enemy threats. This is particularly useful in active military
operations, where the goal is to distinguish among conflicting sounds from aircraft or
drones and determine threat levels.

 

Quantum sensing is an advanced technology that leverages the unique properties of quantum mechanics to measure physical quantities with unprecedented sensitivity and precision. Quantum sensors can detect extremely small changes in magnetic fields, temperature, acceleration, pressure, electric fields, or other physical parameters, making them ideal for applications where conventional sensors fall short. These sensors exploit phenomena such as quantum superposition, entanglement, and coherence to enhance their capabilities beyond classical limits, enabling measurements that were once thought impossible.

 

Light detection and ranging L.D.I.R uses lasers rather than radio waves found in radar units to measure distances and map environments. Applications include battlefield mapping, determining line of sight, aiding in mine countermeasures and the autonomous navigation of military vehicles.
