Our radar services

Success with us

We support your success from concept to finished product with a particular focus on task-specific system design, signal acquisition, signal evaluation, and testing. With our rapid prototyping platform ARTES (Adaptable Radar Toolkit for Embedded Systems), we can validate a system design in a resilient manner even before the development cycle begins.
