To advise and support the Canadian Forces on science and technology related to electro-optical sensing from ground and space-based systems, the Establishment develops concepts, components, modern technologies and data exploitation capabilities for the surveillance of/from space and space-based early warning and ballistic defence aspects. The emphasis is on three main research and development areas: advanced passive and active sensing systems required for spectral, spatial and temporal assessments of targets and backgrounds; data exploitation algorithms and tools for processing and fuzing electro-optical/SAR sensor data into information for aided or automatic target detection and identification; and micro-systems using MEMS (micro-electro mechanical systems) and MEOMS (micro-electro-optical-mechanical systems) technologies encountered in space-based sensing systems.
