Argon ST (NASDAQ: STST) is a rapidly growing systems engineering and development company headquarted in Fairfax, VA providing full-service C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) solutions to a wide range of customers. Its successes include developing systems for signal intercept and identification, airborne imaging systems, threat warning systems, electronic intelligence, active electronic warfare systems, communications reconnaissance systems, torpedo countermeasures systems, imaging systems, communication systems, wireless networks and navigation systems. Argon ST systems support a full range of military and strategic units including surface and sub-surface, airborne, and land-based platforms serving defense, homeland security, and international customer needs. Through the application of advanced software and cutting-edge communications technologies, Argon ST is committed to designing, engineering, and fielding systems and products that enable its customers to successfully accomplish their mission as well as expand their capabilities in C4ISR.
Argon ST was created with the merger of SenSyTech, Inc. and Argon Engineering Associates on September 29, 2004. In August 2006, Argon ST acquired Innovative Research, Ideas & Services Corporation (IRIS), the authors of the sensor fusion software Transducer Markup Language (TML). Effective July 3, 2006, Argon ST completed the acquisition of San Diego Research Center Incorporated (SDRC). As a rapidly growing leader in the development of wireless communications technologies that address system performance challenges of mobile military systems, SDRC fills a niche in Argon ST 's goal to be a complete end-to-end sensor system provider. On October 1, 2005, Argon ST acquired Radix Technologies. Radix's leading edge signal processing technology for reconnaissance and navigation complements the Argon ST advanced signal intercept and processing systems. The result is a vibrant and unique C4ISR company with a strong research and development heritage.
