NASA and the US Department of Transportation are exploring several research sensors for measuring wake vortices. OptiNav and Microstar Laboratories, as contractors to Titan Corporation, developed a phased array to support the government's wake vortex measurements . The first full deployment took place in September 2003, at a spot about a mile from the threshold of runway 16L at the Denver International Airport.
Our technology lets us use consumer-grade electret microphones to build large scale arrays at a cost of about USD$1000 per channel.
Acoustic Imaging combines resources from Microstar Laboratories, Inc. , Signal Interface Group , and OptiNav, Inc. We develop custom systems to locate and measure acoustic sources associated with aircraft and other vehicles and machines.
