CET Completes Flight Test of Proof-of-Concept HYPERSAR Sensor
Clean Earth Technologies, LLC (CET) recently hit an important milestone in a program that combines hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The project, called HYPERSAR, will enhance the ability of our troops to detect and classify targets while reducing vulnerability to countermeasures. By combining the target recognition strengths of HSI and the target detection strengths of SAR, more useful targeting information can be quickly acquired.
In November 2007, over a three week period at Aberdeen Test Center in Maryland, CET flight tested the HYPERSAR system aboard a surrogate unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The proof-of-concept HYPERSAR system was successfully tested against a series of realistic target scenarios to demonstrate the operational advantages of combining Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). With CET’s innovative HSI target detection and classification algorithms, the HYPERSAR sensor was shown to surpass the capabilities of standalone broadband electro-optical imagers and industry standard data processing approaches.

Based on the successful proof of concept demonstration, Phase 2 of the program is now under way, and will culminate with an advanced technology demonstrator (ATD) in early 2009. CET is the prime contractor for the HYPERSAR program, sponsored by the US Army Battle Command, Battle Lab Ft. Huachuca, AZ
CET Brings Outbreak Prevention Message to the
Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas
Tens of thousands of gaming executives from around the world attended the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas, November 12-15, 2007. Clean Earth Technologies, LLC (CET) sponsored a panel discussion session on outbreak prevention and offered advice to these executives at a CET booth on ways they can reduce the possibility or impact of an outbreak in their facility. Recent headlines across the country have included large norovirus and other outbreaks that are often linked to gaming facilities and related hospitality industries. CET has become the first company to attend G2E and share advice with gaming executives on how to address these critical issues.
CET is also proud to announce a new partnership with Environmental Safety Technologies (EST) (http://www.estechlab.com), from Louisville, KY. Their extensive expertise in Legionella and other important indoor air quality issues will be added to future CET gaming industry audit projects. Two representatives, Shauna Weis and John Carrico, from EST joined CET for this conference. In addition, Dr. Ruth Carrico from the University of Louisville joined the panel discussion sponsored by CET.
