Michael G. Bush and Dean P. Kossives of Clear Align, an electro-optic systems company focused on custom imaging, fiber optic and laser sensors for military and aerospace applications, will present papers documenting two novel technologies during the SPIE Defense, Security, and Sensing Conference in Orlando, Florida, April 5-9, 2010.
“Inventors Bush and Kossives have done cutting-edge research and development in the quest to find creative and cost-effective solutions to protect our soldiers in the most adverse conditions,” said Angelique X. Irvin, President and CEO of Clear Align. “Lock-In Imager™ and Miniature Soldier Sensor Platform (M-SSP)™ are the results of their efforts; both technologies are too early in development for concrete adaptation to current threats, however the solutions they present show great promise for future adaptation to threat detection.”
As part of the Imaging and Sensing track at the SPIE Conference, Michael G. Bush will present proof of concept data on a novel low-cost multipurpose imaging architecture that enables high-resolution lock-in imaging . His presentation details the development of Clear
Align’s Lock-In Imager™, an ultra-high-sensitivity, high-resolution camera platform that is ideal for search and rescue, identification of friend or foe, and covert surveillance. One of the greatest benefits of this technology is that it functions by leveraging the capabilities of standard commercial off the shelf components, providing a lower cost, previously-qualified solution. Bush will present during the Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) Systems and Applications VII on Wednesday, April 7, 2010 from 8:20 AM – 8:40 AM during Conference 7668 in the World Center Marriot Crystal Ballroom L.
As part of the Emerging Technologies track of the conference, Dean P. Kossives will present a newly–patented, novel approach for chemical detection called Miniature Solider Sensor Platform™ (M-SSP™). His presentation will detail the M-SSP™ concept, including the identification of improvised explosive device precursors. The technology, although very early in development with high developmental risks, promises a miniaturized device (wristwatch-sized) that delivers real-time, short-range, tactical analysis of chemical threats to soldiers and civilians. Dean Kossives will present during the Photonic Microdevices/Microstructures for Sensing II on Thursday, April 8, 2010 during Conference 7682 from 2:50 PM – 3:10 PM in the World Center Marriot Crystal Ballroom K.
