Prototyping

Some customer requirements involve simple and quick methods like sketches, wireframes, or paper prototypes to test early ideas and concepts.

Radiance often creates more detailed and interactive versions of a prototype that closely resembles the final product. Radiance engineers are adept at using software applications like CAD, 3D printers / additive manufacturing, and software simulation tools.

Radiance has several Prototyping Laboratories with machines, industrial tools, equipment and systems using automated processes to quickly produce physical prototypes.

Radiance’s Simulation Training and Readiness Operation creates individual, crew, collective and VR/AR training system prototypes that are interactive and allow users to experience the product, its features, and functions.

Radiance creates hardware and software prototypes for specific military industrial base (MIB) verticals, including directed energy (high energy laser (HEL), high power microwave (HPM), microelectronics/semiconductors, cybersecurity, intelligence analysis tools, sensors, M&S architectures and tools. Satellite technology, optical systems, advanced AI/ML algorithms, PNT technology, test instrumentation and training systems.

Radiance has a strong heritage with all aspects of Army space for 20+ years providing operational space and Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) capabilities, mainly supporting SmallSat activities.

Radiance is additionally focused on research, design, implementation, and evaluation of advanced manufacturing techniques for weapon system components and subsystems. This industrial development involves research of innovative approaches to manufacturing techniques to improve development timelines and reduce manufacturing costs for military technologies. The end goal is to enable successful transition of technology to a Program of Record (PoR) by ensuring the appropriate manufacturing and industrial base is established.

The Systems Division provides engineering development and product realization of systems, subsystems, and components including ruggedized electronics, software/system integration labs, special test equipment, platform modifications, and prototype systems. Technical capabilities include hardware design, software development, embedded systems design, design for cybersecurity, quality management system, substantiating analyses, and qualification test development and execution.
