Quietly active in the SBIR arena (primarily for military operation) since founding of the firm in 1983, Prometheus Inc. is a woman-owned software research and engineering firm specializing in applied mathematics. The primary organizing objective is the development of algorithms and software that avoid the need for hardware changes and exploit the capability of emerging hardware to reduce system costs while improving performance. To that end, Prometheus Inc. brings together academic and industry experts in: acoustics antenna array design anti-submarine warfare applied probability digital filtering Fourier analysis mine countermeasures optimization pattern recognition radar scattering theory signal processing sonar and waveform design. The firm's corporate offices are in Sharon, MA withteh firm's Research and Conference Center in Newport, RI. Associated consultants have offices are in Alexandria, VA, Auburn, AL, Panama City Beach, FL, and Seattle, WA. Over the many years of SBIR involvement, projects have included design, development, and applied creative solutions to address demanding problems as diverse as : Shallow water threat classification using sidescan sonar Wire detection for Improvised Explosive Device defeat Disturbed earth detection and discrimination Real-time decoy discrimination for anti-submarine warfare Range-aliasing solutions for space-based radar Resource allocation for technology investment decisions Real-time military aircraft allocation planning Data compression for digital communications streams Real-time computationally simple audio encoding and decoding
