Signal Technology Program, State College, Pennsylvania

Located among the beautiful mountains and valleys of central Pennsylvania, the SRI International, State College office is the birthplace of SRI's Signal Technology Program.

The Signal Technology Program (STP) is within SRI's largest group, the Engineering & Systems Division.  The staff of the Signal Technology Program organization has a broad experience base incorporating expertise in:

• Open Source solutions development
• OpenGIS standards-based software development
• Maritime domain awareness
• Collection and processing programs
• Data exploitation techniques
• Data fusion and emitter correlation
• Systems engineering (SETA/SETD)
• System architectures
• Networking protocols and high-performance computing
• Modeling and simulation
• Database design, implementation and management
• Digital signal processing and algorithm development
• Mission management and concept of operations development
• Real-time data distribution

STP has a dual role in serving its client base.  First, this organization performs the systems engineering activities listed above together with selected prototyping of software and hardware products, as required, in order to satisfy the needs of its customers.  Second, STP serves as a gateway for SRI technology into the STP client base for customer requirements to flow from its customers to researchers within the Signal Technology Program and also elsewhere within the SRI organization.

These two aspects of the Signal Technology Program are consistent with the long-established principal focus of SRI International: technology development and technology transfer.
