Project SOCRATES(TM) is a patented laser acoustic sensor technology for the detection and localization and tracking of wake vortex turbulence as a potential airport installation for U.S. and International airport markets. Following a successful test of a four-beam configuration in September of 2003, the company has been expanding the system to sixteen beams and preparing for a major test at Denver International Airport in September of 2005.

The company is developing a patented airborne collision avoidance radar called UNICORN(TM) which is scheduled for an initial tower-based proof-of-principle test in August of 2005. UNICORN is being developed for potential general aviation applications, as well as potential government use in unmanned aerial vehicles.

The company is also pursuing the development of a potentially low-cost technology called TIICM(TM), for the protection of airliners against the threat of terrorists shoulder launched missiles.
