Argon ST maintains leading edge technology ranging from extremely low frequency sensors to radio band communications and radar to ultraviolet-visible-infrared hyperspectral imaging. Our innovative system solutions are backed by patents covering the radio frequency spectrum and signal processing domains.

With active sensor programs on submerged, afloat, land, air, and satellite platforms, we continually extend our technology capability through internal Independent Research and Development (IR&D) and initiatives through Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) S&T Directorate.

Argon ST is on the cutting edge of testing and integrating systems for RF over fiber as efficient replacement to downhaul cables in submarines and cryogenic RF filters and quantum Josephson Junction ultra broadband analog to digital receivers developed under Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Command technical initiatives.

We take advanced concepts and move them into the real world, creating Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET) for industrial sensor networks with a rich set of infrastructure connectivity, implementing Army training and field exercise monitoring, and developing advanced causality assistance reporting and emergency personnel location equipment.

Argon ST is at the forefront of navigation research through initiatives with DARPA, Army, Navy, Air Force, and DHS organizations to create precision navigation in the most challenging environments.

Our research takes us down mineshafts in Pennsylvania, sends us to the ship yards and outback of Australia, and finds us surveying radio frequency (RF) signals from the streets of northern Virginia to the harbors of Hawaii. Argon ST is constantly evolving leading edge technology into prototype systems ready for transition to operations, including advanced digital sensor Counter-Sniper technology, Firefly network to satellite nodes, Electronic Warfare wideband digital radar detector, Voice Monster audio processor, acoustic torpedo defense signal processing and much more. We strive to make our systems smaller, lighter, and less power hungry with consequent advantages in reduced cost, longer endurance, and physical footprints that allow extended operational missions.

Argon ST technology includes programs such as Joint Unified Maritime Protection System (JUMPS) test and evaluation laboratory at the Applied Communications and Information Networking (ACIN) facility, Camden NJ, to provide a comprehensive suite of Command Control Communications Computers Combat-Systems Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) sensor systems for maritime port defense and security.

Across the U.S., Argon ST develops unique airborne and pod systems for imaging, multispectral, and hyperspectral analysis, signal reconnaissance, precise signal mapping, radar electronic countermeasures and sophisticated threat simulators.

Argon ST is a recognized industry expert in:

• Design, development, integration, and operation of C5ISR sensors
• Blind adaptive beamforming for signal detection and copy through interference
• Wideband signal and radar digital detection, classification, and geolocation systems
• Precision navigation and anti-jam geolocation technology
• Spread spectrum signal intercept and exploitation processing
• Efficient ad-hoc communication networks tailored for training, battlefield, below-ground personnel monitoring , cargo tracking and inventory, and emergency responder tracking
• Image interpretation for language extraction, structure definition, and traffic flow analysis
• Threat simulation and electronic countermeasure development and maintenance

Argon ST is proud to serve the U.S. Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and other regional, national and international partners with technological solutions that "make sense of it all".
