Observation Technologies

Research and development of state-of-the-art sensors including custom radar systems. Our systems are on everything from oil platforms in the North Sea to snow plows in Minnesota.

Obstek has been developing advanced radar systems for over twenty years. These radar systems have been low cost, high performance systems designed to meet specific goals of commercial customers and the military community.

These radar systems include advanced features:

TRACK WHILE SCAN
MULTIPLE TARGET TRACKING

TARGET VELOCITY, HEADING AND POSITION
CLOSEST POINT OF APPROACH
TIME TO CLOSEST POINT OF APPROACH
MULTIPLE SENSOR DATA FUSION
SAR INTERNAL IMAGING

ObsTek designed and built the first network based commercial marine radar system. Building on this technology, ObsTek has developed the first network based, multiple target track, multiple sensor, truck radar system.

ObsTek designed and tested RADAR for examining the inside structure of Utility Poles. The radar was flown on a Bell 206 Jet Ranger and was used to examine over 5000 structures.
