Electromagnetics Laboratory
Riverside Research’s Electromagnetics Sciences Directorate, home of the EM Lab, offers government and industry customers over 30 years of expertise and experience in basic electromagnetic (EM) interactions and phenomenology, the development of highly efficient large-scale EM prediction and analysis codes on high-performance supercomputers, the implementation of practical design optimization codes and techniques, and the development of user-friendly intuitive interfaces. Our mission is to:
- provide EM design-optimization tools capable of realizing practical designs that meet or exceed performance requirements in hours, not weeks or months;
- develop and deploy high-performance EM computational kernels and associated user interface and support tools; and
- provide EM domain expertise to government and industry clients.
EM Lab expertise spans the full range of technical subject-matter areas needed to perform investigations into EM scattering and radiation mechanisms, signature predictions, and design solutions:
- EM phenomenology
- Radar signature and antenna predictions
- Novel materials development
- Signature control technology
- Ballistic missile defense (BMD) discrimination
- Radar imaging
- Measurements and data analyses
- High-performance computing
Riverside Research’s EM Lab develops and employs state-of-the-art computational electromagnetic (CEM) prediction and design-optimization codes to meet customers’ needs for practical tools that can achieve designs in hours, not weeks or months. EM Lab staff is well-versed in all aspects of developing these tools, including concept definition, code architecture, theoretical advances, novel algorithm development, software implementation, efficiency improvements, testing and validation, and program management.
Our EM Lab has developed a large suite of signature prediction and design-analysis software tools that has helped to advance the operations and technical achievements of numerous government programs. These include fullwave, approximate, and hybrid signature prediction codes and advanced optimization methodologies. EM Lab tools are designed to be highly modular and extensible to facilitate their use with customer proprietary capabilities and to improve reliability and reduce maintenance costs. EM Lab accesses a 32-core SGI Altix UV system to support a variety of customer applications.
