About us

Areté, an employee-owned company, is an advanced science and engineering company that provides innovative solutions to the most challenging technical problems faced by the United States Defense and Intelligence agencies. Areté is derived from the Greek word “ἀρέτη”, meaning the pursuit of excellence and the achievement of maximum performance. Areté was founded in 1976 by five scientists, tasked by the DoD to help solve the challenge of detecting weak signals in heavy clutter over very wide areas. The signatures involved in this work were so weak that any advancement in signal processing algorithms demanded a new approach and understanding of the underlying fundamentals affecting the sensors and signal phenomena in the environments of interest. This first-principles-of-physics approach has been a hallmark of Areté’s development programs for the past 40 years Areté now works across the electromagnetic spectrum. We develop sensors and the associated signal processing algorithms necessary for the extraction and interpretation of data for systems operating under water, in the atmosphere, and in space. With our emphasis on enhanced signal processing and real-time executable software, Areté is able to improve the performance of existing sensor systems at fractions of the cost and time to operations of replacement systems. We work directly with customers and partners seeking maximum performance. Building on our expertise in detection theory we will continue to exploit the contextual, spatial, spectral, and temporal characteristics of data, incorporating them into our signal processing algorithms. These robust algorithms will continue to enable Areté to rapidly deliver innovative solutions to the ever evolving challenges of our customers.

    Earlier this month, Arete proudly participated in Exercise Northern Strike 24-2 at the National All-Domain Warfighting Center in Michigan. We demonstrated our Advanced Image-Based Monitoring System (AIMS) at one of the largest joint training exercises in the U.S. AIMS detects casualties and then remotely detects measures their heart and respiration rate, greatly enhancing medics’ triage and transport capabilities. Northern Strike enabled our team to assist medical triage and evacuation missions from a tactical UAS and mounted in Field Litter Ambulances. We even experimented on a C-130 Aircraft during a mass casualty exercise. We greatly appreciate the positive and helpful crucial soldier feedback.

    Arete has been awarded a $12 million Small Business Innovation Research Phase 2 contract to develop advanced Machine Learning Algorithms for Target Detection on the Coastal Battlefield Reconnaissance (COBRA) System. In collaboration with the Office of Naval Research, we will create context-adaptive algorithms that enhance COBRA's ability to detect objects in new, unseen environments, while also optimizing existing algorithms for greater accuracy.

    Arete was excited to present our Photon Sleuth application at the Space Force’s Space Domain Awareness TAP Lab Apollo Accelerator Cohort 3 Demo Day earlier this week! Arete’s Photon Sleuth enhances Space Situational Awareness by allowing for the unqueued, simultaneous detection of many extremely dim targets. Arete is proud to participate in the Apollo Accelerator!

    Great working with PFT and ONR to integrate the PILLS sensor- continuing a trend toward more Low SWaP systems to support the fleet.

    Last week, we welcomed the teams from Areté and Office of Naval Research to PFT HQ in La Selva Beach for #PILLS payload integration and flight tuning with Firefly. More to come as we look forward to deploying our heavy-lift expeditionary #UAS for #maritime applications to support our war fighters. #dronesforgood #hVTOL
