With support from the Air Force Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer Program, Colorado-based Welkin Sciences developed a simulator MILSATCOM Atmospheric Scintillation Simulator, called MASS, that enables testing of nuclear scintillation effects on military satellite communication systems. The Air Force uses this device to ensure U.S. satellite communications remain effective should a high-altitude nuclear device be detonated.
Welkin Sciences has earned $11.5M in revenue stemming from MASS and Digital IF – both of which originated as SBIR projects.
