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.
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). The acquisition helped to achieve the corporate goal of being able to provide an end-to-end sensor system. Specifically, San (SDRC’s) wireless communication technologies address the challenges of mobile military systems. On October 1, 2005, Argon ST acquired Radix Technologies. The acquisition of Radix brought in the signal processing technology for reconnaissance and navigation, complementing the Argon ST’ core advanced signal intercept and processing capabilities and systems. The current result of mergers and acquisition is a C4ISR company with a research and development heritage.
