December 2, 2024 | QinetiQEstimated reading time: 1 minute
QinetiQ US has been awarded a four-year, $42 million task order to support the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) C5ISR Center's Research & Technology Integration (RTI) Directorate. The task order, awarded under the Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services (RS3) IDIQ contract, focuses on developing and enhancing intelligent sensor processing and advanced imaging technologies.
Under this task order, QinetiQ US will deliver evolving embedded intelligent sensor processing and optics advanced technologies to meet critical research and development requirements of the C5ISR Center. The work includes developing and enhancing Aided Target Recognition (AiTR) capabilities, advancing signal and image processing algorithms, and creating new software applications. QinetiQ US will also evaluate technology improvements through testbed integration and testing.
"This award reflects QinetiQ's commitment to advancing sensor technology innovation while directly supporting the Army's critical modernization priorities," said Jonathan Riksen, executive vice president and general manager of QinetiQ US' National & Global Security Solutions business unit. "By leveraging our expertise in intelligent sensor processing and imaging systems, we're helping the Army develop and field next-generation capabilities that support key initiatives including Next Generation Combat Vehicle, Future Vertical Lift, and Soldier Lethality programs. Our focus on research and development in these areas ensures warfighters have access to the most advanced technologies for maintaining tactical advantages."
This task order reinforces QinetiQ US' position as a key partner in advancing the Army's sensor and imaging capabilities. By leveraging its expertise in sensor technology and research and development of imaging systems like micro-displays, QinetiQ US continues to make significant contributions to C5ISR Center, DEVCOM, Army Futures Command and the future of military sensor operations.

UHDI Fundamentals: UHDI Drives Unique IoT Innovation in Farming
04/22/2025 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard CircuitsThe combination of UHDI's high-bandwidth capabilities and IoT's real-time data processing can lead to more efficient, immersive, and smarter IoT systems. This convergence of two revolutionary technologies is enabling quantum advancements in some very “unconventional” applications. The typical discussions around UHDI focus on our standard electronics industry market segments like milaero, medical, consumer electronics, etc. IoT is all about machines talking to other machines, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, but again, typically applied in our PCB and assembly operations.
