ARA is nationally and internationally recognized for innovative solutions that detect, defeat and respond to threats facing our homeland and those who protect it.
We have played a major role in the development of new weapon systems for defeating high value targets. We are at the forefront of research aimed at mitigating WMD threats worldwide. We have helped ensure the safety and security of several hundred high profile government and commercial facilities, as well as many well-known national landmarks and icons.
Our C4ISR products have been used by warfighters to find and detect threats of insurgents, and to improve intelligence gathering, information processing and decision support. ARA teams are leading the development of new unmanned systems and payloads for critical missions such as reconnaissance, surveillance, IED defeat, unexploded ordnance and land-mine clearance.
