Numerica wins $3 million missile-sensor contract

LOVELAND – Numerica Corp., a Loveland-based research firm specializing
in defense technology, won a two-year, $3 million contract from the
Missile Defense Agency to develop sensors to enhance the nation’s
defense against ballistic missile attack.

The $3 million contract is the largest Small Business Innovation
Research Phase II project ever awarded to Numerica, according to
President Jeff Poore.

The MDA protects U.S. territories, as well as those of the nation’s
allies, against ballistic missile attack, whether accidental,
unauthorized or deliberate. The Airborne Infrared (ABIR) multi-sensor
correlation and fusion solution to be provided by Numerica is part of a
broader systems integration effort. Through the newly awarded contract,
Numerica will research key ABIR sensor integration technology that will
enhance the system’s ability to improve situational awareness.

“Numerica is proud of our ongoing contributions to the nation’s missile
defense system,´ said Numerica. “We’re honored that MDA selected our
team of scientists to offer an innovative solution for the challenging
problem of ABIR sensor integration.”

Principle investigators for the contract are Numerica CEO Aubrey B.
Poore, Ph.D., and Program Director Shawn Herman, Ph.D.
