Formed by the former Director of Research at the U.S. Army Missile Command, Advanced Optical Systems, Inc. the AOS team in has expertise in physical optics, optical engineering, lasers, lens design, optomechanics, opto-electronics, electronics, and software. AOS specializes in optical signal processing that extracts information from images and applies the solution at the system level to solve real-world problems. The firm applies the power of massively parallel optical processors to extract information from highly complex scenes. The information is then refined and used to provide decision-making cues to operators and to close the loop on automated systems. Some examples of success in this area are automatic target recognition and remote attitude measurement systems. Business interests include * Aided Target Recognition (ATR) * Cueing for ATR Systems * Space Rendezvous and Docking * Electro Optic Sensors and Seekers * Rotocraft Auto External Load Lift I * mage Stabilization Space Imaging and Cryogenics * Space Qualified Manufacturing. In 2013, the firm received Received Two Edison Awards 1. AIRprint Won Gold in Innovative Services Safety/Security for its Ability to Collect Fingerprints from 10 Feet Away. while 2. Hermes Won Silver in Applied Technology/Safety for its Innovative Technology that Guides Drone Helicopters to Pick Up and Deliver Supplies Automatically.
