Radar Engineering in Huntsville
Eikon Research, Inc. is a Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB) radar engineering company in Huntsville, AL that develops, tests, and implements radar, infrared, and medical technology systems. We specialize in the design and analysis of these technologies during all stages of development: from concept to implementation.
About Us
Eikon Research is a woman-owned small business located in Huntsville, Alabama, that specializes in ground-based radar engineering technology. Eikon has extensive experience in radar engineering & design, software development, firmware, graphical user interfaces (GUIs), integration and testing. Eikon’s competitive advantage is in our advanced waveform design, signal processing, angle-estimation, beamforming, track filtering and dwell scheduling.
AGILE PROTOTYPING
Eikon is also experienced in designing and developing RF sensor prototypes, enhancing legacy radar operation, integrating into existing infrastructure, and developing modular software for specific mission requirements. This allows Eikon to easily integrate solutions into any customer’s existing radar & RF architecture.
MODELING & SIMULATION
Eikon’s Modeling and Simulation development began in support of a Small Business Innovative Research Phase II. Through other subcontractor support efforts, this capability has grown into a large and modular radar & RF modeling & simulation software suite for software- and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
Eikon’s radar modeling and simulation software suite features advanced graphical user interfaces for visualizing simulation results, signal propagation through atmosphere, target-signal interaction, 3DOF trajectory modeling, radar processing chain, and block-wise radar models to quickly and efficiently evaluate radar system performance.
SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTISE
Eikon supports several government agencies and prime customers in the arena of radar engineering performance & design, operational software improvements, digital signal processing algorithm upgrades, multi-dwell target acquisition framework implementation, and algorithm development framework improvement.
FACILITY
Eikon’s culture and facility in Huntsville cultivates an agile and collaborative environment for RF sensor product development – where hardware testing, firmware development, backend software and frontend software development can all be performed in a common location.
Meet The Owners
Stephanie Cunningham
Stephanie co-founded Eikon Research in 2014, after 8+ years at USASMDC/ARSTRAT Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC). While at SMDC in Huntsville, Stephanie was the radar & optical subject matter expert for the Directed Energy Division and served as lead engineer for the Projectile Tracking System radar. Stephanie also served as the Army Liaison for a High Energy Laser Joint Technology Office (HEL-JTO) Working Group alongside representatives from the Air Force and Navy. Stephanie worked to identify and create radar and camera technology to support future laser weapon systems for C-UAS, C-RAM and cruise missile defense applications.
