Secure & Resilient Systems
Our Secure and Resilient Systems (SRS) group focuses on securing systems as they interact in both the physical and digital world. We take pride in delivering systems to our mission partners that have been researched, developed and tested relentlessly. That’s because we want what everyone wants when it comes to national security: threats detected quickly and immediately neutralized while maintaining control of all systems.

THz Imaging
Terahertz radiation lies between the microwave and the infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Falling within the gap between photonic and electronic devices, THz radiation is relatively under-developed and efficient sources and detectors are lacking. However, THz radiation has many interesting characteristics for potential applications.

New Materials, Better Technologies: A Look at Functional Electromagnetic Materials IRAD Development at Riverside Research
The functional electromagnetic materials independent research and development (IRAD) efforts at Riverside Research result in big ideas about small components. The researchers on this team examine the materials at the basis of every hardware component or device in use, reimagining how we can use alternative materials or new materials to help the device function more safely, securely, and cost effectively – all while taking up less physical space.
