Missile Defense

Mission-Critical Solutions
for Warfighter Success

ExoAnalytic Solutions was founded on a legacy of missile defense innovation. Our earliest breakthroughs in tracking and discrimination established the technical rigor that continue to define our work today. For more than three decades, our engineers and physicists have developed advanced algorithms that enhance sensor and weapon performance, refine target characterization, and optimize battle management, command, and control.

From early warning to interceptor guidance, our technologies help defend against evolving threats. Building on this heritage, we continue to advance the state of the art in missile defense, delivering mission-ready solutions that ensure warfighter success when it matters most.

Focal Plane Processing

We are the leader in real-time focal plane processing.

Detecting a threat demands the ability to process sensor data in real-time with unparalleled accuracy. As leaders in algorithm development, we specialize in processing live images captured by visible and infrared CCD sensors, transforming raw data into actionable intelligence. Our advanced algorithms enable comprehensive, end-to-end processing of raw frames, extracting critical positional and brightness information for objects in the scene, while simultaneously filtering out irrelevant elements such as stars, debris, clouds, and other disturbances. This precise filtering capability ensures that our processing algorithms can estimate object positions with sub-pixel precision, providing our clients with highly accurate situational awareness and a significant advantage in identifying and responding to potential threats. Through continuous innovation, we push the boundaries of real-time image processing, ensuring optimal performance in even the most challenging environments.

Advanced Tracking

Our AI/ML technologies enable tracking of highly maneuverable threats.

Our cutting-edge algorithms seamlessly transform threat target detections from radar and optical sensors into fully integrated system tracks. These tracks form the foundation for predicting the future positions of potential targets, empowering defense systems with the foresight needed to make precise, informed decisions. By leveraging these predictive tracks, our advanced algorithms enable downstream discrimination processes to identify and prioritize which of the tracked objects require interception. This capability is crucial for ensuring the accuracy and effectiveness of missile defense operations, playing a vital role in mission success.

12 State Kalman Filter

Traditional methods of tracking fail to estimate and predict sudden state changes, such as the rapid accelerations capable of advanced missile threats.

Algorithm Performance Comparison

Deep Neural Network

With our DNN solution, rapid accelerations are captured and contained within the covariance estimate significantly more often than traditional methods.

Target Discrimination

We enable interceptors to make smart decisions.

In a missile defense engagement, the majority of tracked objects are non-threatening, such as debris, fuel tanks, or hardware, and must be treated differently from hostile targets. Our team develops highly advanced algorithms that autonomously and rapidly analyze each tracked object, distinguishing between benign and potentially hostile threats. This process, known as discrimination, is a cornerstone of missile defense effectiveness. Discrimination is arguably the most critical function of the missile defense system, second only to accurate tracking, as it directly impacts the success and reliability of the entire defense operation. By employing sophisticated techniques, our algorithms swiftly evaluate the nature of each object, ensuring that only genuine threats are selected for interception.

C2BMC Optimization

Our technologies optimize integrated sensor and weapon system performance.

We possess a deep understanding of the end-to-end command, control, battle management, and communications (C2BMC) processes that are critical to mission success. Recognizing the complexity and urgency of these operations, we have developed cutting-edge algorithms that enhance every facet of C2BMC, ensuring seamless coordination and real-time responsiveness. Our advanced sensor management algorithms optimize data collection and integration, while our sophisticated weapon allocation strategies ensure that defensive assets are deployed efficiently and effectively. By dynamically adjusting to changing battle conditions, our solutions enable optimal decision-making across the C2BMC spectrum, providing commanders with the intelligence and tools needed to act with precision and confidence.
