Kratos SRE Systems Development research and development (R&D) team is focused on device fingerprinting and on-chip sensor solutions. We perform focused research and development to unlock unexpected value within ordinary parts. Primary focus areas of development have been on nonlinear and hybrid analog-digital systems that defy conventional approaches in order to increase bandwidth, reduce latency, and provide novel capabilities. In addition to device fingerprinting solutions, this R&D team can perform advanced signal processing as a service, providing a deep and thorough inspection of sensor outputs and data using modern methods and algorithms. This agile R&D team specializes in connecting foundational theoretical concepts from physics, mathematics, and engineering to innovative solutions through modeling, simulations, bench testing, and quick turn prototyping.

Research Areas Include:

• Trusted and Assured Microelectronics (Unclocked FPGAs)
  • Hardware Security
  • Hardware Assurance
  • Anti-tampering
• Advanced Signal Processing
