Job Description

Satellites perform important civil, scientific, and national defense functions such as navigation, communications, weather forecasting, astronomical observations, and surveillance. As space becomes increasingly congested and contested, it is critical to maintain awareness of objects around the Earth to ensure the safe and effective operation of U.S. satellites. The Advanced Sensors and Techniques Group prototypes, develops and tests some of the world’s most advanced electro-optical and radio frequency (RF) space surveillance sensors. We have access to space surveillance sensors at our main campus in Lexington, MA, and at the Lincoln Space Surveillance Complex in Westford, MA, the Experimental Test Site in Socorro, NM, and the Reagan Test Site on Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands.

  • Automated high-resolution radar image processing algorithm development
  • Novel artificial intelligence-based target characterization algorithm development
  • Advanced radar signal processing algorithm development
  • Implementation of transmitter and receiver upgrades for the world’s most sensitive radars
  • Integration and operation of a state-of-the-art telescope for space domain awareness
  • Demonstration of high-precision multi-sensor data fusion
  • Design and demonstration of long-baseline multistatic radars
