Description
DEC technical staff has expertise in various aspects of hardware development including enclosure design, printed circuit board design, and FPGA development. DEC primarily uses Xilinx technologies, such as Virtex and Zynq platforms, for firmware development. DEC uses VHDL to implement algorithms in FPGAs. DEC also uses a Matlab-to-VHDL desgin flow to reduce development time and aide in cross platform verification. DEC also uses Matlab to augment the firmware simulations done using industry leading simulation tools. DEC has experience developing boards starting with the circuit design and schematics, through PCB layout, and working with PCB fabrication houses to ensure the highest quality product is delivered to the customer within the estimated time.
Welcome to the Defense Engineering Corporation (DEC) web site. DEC provides high-value, high-quality engineering and product development services to customers and collaborators in the Department of Defense and industry. We specialize in advanced sensor and processing technologies for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Unmanned Systems, and Self-Protection applications.
DEC is an active participant in the DoD Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR). DEC has extensive experience in transitioning SBIR technologies to the DoD acquisition community through the large business mentor model.
DARPA continues to press the state of the art in miniature uncooled SWIR imaging sensors. By virtue of their advanced capabilities and small size, these devices are securing a prominent role in the special forces and ISR communities, particularly when installed in unmanned aircraft. DEC is working with DARPA to develop intelligent SWIR cameras by directly embedding processing capability using innovative 3D packaging techniques pioneered by collaborator Interconnect Systems.
