What is ASC’s background?
A. Advanced Scientific Concepts, Inc. (ASC) was founded in 1987 for the purpose of developing cutting-edge sensors based on ASC Readout Integrated Circuit (ROIC) designs. One of those sensor systems, which eventually become known as 3-D Flash Ladar, was initially designed for underwater laser radar (ladar) imaging and later developed by ASC engineers and scientists into a dual-mode obscuration penetration and hard target 3-D imaging capability. ASC’s 3-D Flash Ladar sensors are active, requiring a laser pulse to probe the external world and, via reflection, bring back range and intensity information.
