Secure & Resilient Systems

Our Secure and Resilient Systems (SRS) group focuses on securing systems as they interact in both the physical and digital world. We take pride in delivering systems to our mission partners that have been researched, developed and tested relentlessly. That’s because we want what everyone wants when it comes to national security: threats detected quickly and immediately neutralized while maintaining control of all systems.

THz Imaging

Terahertz radiation lies between the microwave and the infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Falling within the gap between photonic and electronic devices, THz radiation is relatively under-developed and efficient sources and detectors are lacking. However, THz radiation has many interesting characteristics for potential applications.
