SARA

Located in Cypress, CA, the Artificial Perception and Threat Awareness (APTA) Division of Scientific Applications and Research Associates (SARA) develops sensing and collaboration systems to enable the future of autonomy today. SARA serves both the military and commercial aerospace markets with RF geolocation systems, acoustic-based threat detection systems and other non-traditional sensors for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Leveraging over twenty-five years' experience developing airborne acoustic sensors, many of the world's foremost acoustic scientists, advanced AI and state-of-the-art edge processing, SARA developed the world's only acoustic-based aircraft detect-and-avoid systems. These systems provide the airspace awareness and deconfliction needed for BVLOS and fully autonomous UAS operations; uniquely addressing one of the most vexing technical, business and regulatory challenges blocking the integration of UAS into the national airspace.
