We make systems and their sensors smarter...

deciBel Research provides tools and capabilities to solve our customers toughest problems. We are a small business, with big capabilities and growing every day. We support ballistic missile defense modeling and simulation activities and provide tools to our warfighter to keep our country safe and protected.

deciBel Research applies a systematic approach to problem solving. We transform data into information to support decision making or provide recommendations to decision makers. We approach complex problems by separating them into more understandable elements. We use high-fidelity models, simulations, and flight test data to provide the capability to test systems and algorithms against a variety of environments and engagements.

Our core competencies include modeling and simulation analysis; sensor and system test and evaluation; algorithm development; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; and sensor and systems engineering.

Modeling, Simulation, & Analysis

deciBel Research is a premier small business backed by a dedicated team of subject matter experts in modeling, simulation, and analysis. We are at the forefront of the design and development of digital and hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) testing and evaluation tools, providing critical truth services and threat scene representations to stimulate entire defense architectures.
 
We have successfully matured and integrated advanced radar track, discrimination, classification/identification, imaging, counter-countermeasures, fusion, and resource management algorithms for the most complex radar systems in operation today. As a trusted prime contractor for the Missile Defense Agency, we specialize in delivering comprehensive lifecycle solutions for both element and system-level modeling and simulation.
 
These advanced engineering efforts are backed by our peer-reviewed, high-fidelity radar analysis, modeling, simulation, and real-time stimulation suite of tools. By designing and building custom radar stimulator hardware and software, our digital signal injection technology provides unparalleled accuracy for tactical testing, ultimately lowering the costs associated with evaluating new radar concepts and capabilities.

Sensor System Test & Evaluation

deciBel Research delivers comprehensive, end-to-end Sensor System Test & Evaluation solutions designed to validate and optimize critical defense architectures. Our expertise spans the entire test lifecycle, seamlessly integrating meticulous test planning, hardware and software integration, rigorous test execution, and in-depth post-test analysis.
 
As a trusted partner to the Department of Defense and the Missile Defense Agency, deciBel Research leads complex flight and ground test activities in strict accordance with the sensor and system Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP). We leverage advanced modeling, simulation, and hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) environments to ensure that all systems perform flawlessly under realistic tactical conditions.
 
Our highly skilled engineers and analysts provide dedicated, on-site support for these mission-critical events across the globe, executing operations both within the Continental United States (CONUS) and at Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) installations. By combining data-driven analysis with proven test methodologies, deciBel Research ensures the reliability, interoperability, and lethality of the nation’s most advanced sensor systems.

Algorithm Development

deciBel Research has a rich history of developing algorithms to improve radar tracking, discrimination, debris mitigation, track accuracy, and target discrimination. deciBel Research has developed a set of high-fidelity, physics-based modeling and simulation tools. Our toolset provides data manipulation, modeling, simulation, and analysis capabilities for the specific purpose of constructing physics-based representations of threats, sensors, environments, and scenarios and computing the dynamic signatures expected from complex sensor missions and engagements. Our tools are extensively used within our customer base to process and generate large data sets for virtual or hardware in the loop testing. The tools also assist with the processing and analyzes of flight test data and post-flight reconstructions.

Intelligence, Surveillance, & Reconnaissance

deciBel Research provides end-to-end intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) solutions to key customers across the Intelligence Community. We focus on the design, development, maintenance, and sustainment of advanced mission tools used to support tasking, processing, exploitation, and dissemination (TPED) objectives for critical data collection assets.
 
Building upon our extensive history of supporting organizations such as the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), we deliver specialized software and technical expertise designed to process sensor data and disseminate timely, actionable intelligence to the warfighter.
 
Our tailored ISR toolsets enhance scientific and technical intelligence analysis by providing robust, user-focused capabilities. We specialize in developing software environments that streamline search volume planning, sensor data exploitation, object classification, resource management, and mission profile generation. Through agile software development and modern cloud-native architectures, deciBel Research ensures that intelligence analysts have the reliable, high-performance tools they need to maintain a strategic advantage.

Sensor & Systems Engineering

deciBel Research provides extensive systems engineering expertise and comprehensive support throughout the entire system acquisition lifecycle. 
 
Our core competencies in this domain include concept development, requirements definition and verification, test support and execution, deep data analysis, and modeling and simulation development. We provide unmatched interoperability and communications expertise alongside complete system integration support to ensure complex architectures function seamlessly together. 

These critical applications are supported by our advanced, high-fidelity sensor simulations and proprietary engineering toolsets, such as our modular dBTools suite. By leveraging these advanced toolsets, deciBel Research delivers the high-confidence, quantitative data that government and defense customers rely upon for making critical, evidence-based system engineering design decisions.
