APPLIED SIGNAL TECHNOLOGY, INC. - LOS ANGELES OPERATIONS

We provide engineering and scientific services to explore new fundamental operational concepts, develop novel approaches to solving tough problems, develop new capabilities and equipment, perform equipment and platform integration, provide off-site and on-site support and training, and perform advanced signal, image, and data analysis to understand operating environments for pre-, post-, and on-going mission support. Additionally, we bring a unique blend of complex signal processing (passive and active) and advanced exploitation capabilities to prosecute the cyberspace domain. Our diverse range of services include: system engineering, service-oriented architectures, cloud computing, software development, application performance management, web portal development, data management, specialized analytical tool development, and data mining.

We invest heavily in internal research and development (IR&D) in anticipation of customer requirements and to ensure we are at the cutting edge of scientific and engineering advances. Approximately 15-20% of our technical staff works on IR&D projects throughout the year. The results of the IR&D are new operational concepts, feasibility studies and demonstrations, new products and technologies, analysis support tools, and advanced studies on emerging problems and threats. For example, a core capability that emerged from IR&D projects over the last few years is our designs for low size, weight, and power (SWAP) systems. We are now one of the nation's leaders in low SWAP electronics.

We use a centralized manufacturing facility to ensure robust and reliable products. Manufacturing design services such as quality assurance (QA), configuration management (CM), and mechanical engineering are involved in product development from the start to ensure cost-effective and reliable manufacturing. We also design, develop, and manufacture to strict military specifications when required. We can often deliver equipment on very short schedules because we build equipment to inventory. This strategy enables rapid mission deployment for crisis situations.
