Sensor & Data Fusion
“Courses are practical. Really what I am looking for.”
Javier Conti (INVAP S.E. in Argentina)
Learn how to identify a threat and where it’s coming from, as well as details such as the speed of a threat. The latest sensing technology enables the gathering of information to provide situational awareness and a means for defending the country. Achieving an understanding of the technology and systems can result in an immediate application to today’s challenges.
