Company Science Engineering Technology Careers Contact






Science, Engineering, and Technology (SET) Corporation, a small, privately owned business founded in 2002 by scientists from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, was established to create and commercialize “smart” information technologies that help humans accomplish complex tasks. From video and radar systems that automatically detect human behaviors, to knowledge discovery systems that find meaningful patterns in vast quantities of seemingly unrelated data, our products make our society safer, better informed, and more productive. Headquartered in Arlington, VA, with offices in Dayton, OH, Denver, CO, and Greenbelt, MD, we serve a diverse base of defense, homeland security, and intelligence community clientele.

SET’s Science team researches solutions to highly challenging information problems. We specialize in urban sensing problems that require a combination of technical expertise and operational experience, yielding innovative prototypes that solve real world problems. Our highly experienced staff consists of advanced degree scientists and engineers focused on advancements in Lightweight Radars, Multisensor Signal Processing, Video Analytics, Knowledge Discovery, Cyber Security, and Information Visualization. Our core technical competencies include sensor physics, mathematics, signal processing, computer vision, and artificial intelligence.

SET’s Engineering team specializes in designing and building innovative multi-sensor and information system solutions to highly challenging defense, intelligence, and security problems. Our customers hire us for our speed, agility, and a deep understanding of the technologies we are integrating. We are experts at rapidly developing, deploying, and supporting advanced system prototypes. Our proven system engineering approach employs agile development methodologies that allow maximum innovation with acceptable risk. And we maintain strong relationships with operational partners where we have a proven track record of successfully delivering innovative systems to wartime environments.

SET’s Technology team builds, deploys, and supports products designed to automatically extract accurate and actionable information from raw sensor data, freeing human operators to focus on tasks they do best. CounterBomber® offers the first-ever system capable of automatically detecting humans carrying concealed explosive devices at distances greater than 100 meters. CompuView™ automatically measures crowd demographics from standard video feeds, producing actionable intelligence for retail businesses. SET-Stabilizer™ automatically produces stabilized video and mosaics from airborne video feeds in real time, dramatically improving the ability to detect, track and recognize objects on the ground. And SARScene™, originally developed for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, automatically detects regions of interest in synthetic aperture radar imagery.
