MULTI-AGENCY COLLABORATION ENVIRONMENT (MACE)
NEWS FLASH
Emerging concepts at the MACE
TECHNOLOGIES
Nanosatellites
We work with satellite partners for space services to address a growing market need for radio frequency (RF) collection and analysis. This year, Spire and SNC will launch satellites that detect objects based on targeted RF emissions. The program will provide valuable insight into how military and government organizations can better understand RF emissions and safeguard against GPS interference. Learn how to advance RF collection capabilities in an efficient, low-risk and cost-effective manner.
Metaverse
We are exploring how to apply Metaverse into critical activities such as operator and electronic warfare training and user interface testing. Our wormhole project trains operators by putting them in a realistic environment, generating scenarios instantly from recorded mission data. We leverage sensor fusion, next-gen interfaces and 3D game rendering concepts to test and execute real tasks. Learn where the Metaverse technology maturity level currently is and how you can create your own scenario or environment.
Electromagnetic Spectrum Mapping
We conduct advanced analytics on top of an electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) data lake to process, analyze, visualize and share EMS data to achieve and maintain superiority within the electromagnetic operating environment (EMOE). EM Spectrum mapping is a powerful method used to visualize and characterize a range of frequencies and investigate spatial distributions in an ever-growing field of digital transformation.
