Facilities

CET is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri in a 18,000 sq ft. facility that conducts state of the art RDT&E on military C4ISR and imaging systems, chemical and biological defense technologies and services as well as healthcare and life science.

In addition CET has a facility in Dallas, Texas that develops cutting edge digital electronics and massively parallel computing algorithms for imaging systems.

In 2007 CET opened its Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Disease Preparedness Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Labs

CET offers cutting edge technical facilities that are well equipped for both research and product development, and have specific equipment, diagnostics, and testbeds to support the design, implementation, and operability testing of a wide range of systems.
