STORMS Radar Systems
STORMS (Sense Through Obstruction Remote Monitoring System) uses patented Micro-Doppler radar to detect and track life-forms through walls, rubble, and foliage. Operators can monitor targets from standoff distances up to 300 meters, enhancing safety during search-and-rescue missions or military operations. The system integrates with ATAK software for real-time situational awareness.
PCB Design Services
VAWD provides full-cycle PCB design, from schematic capture to layout and prototyping. Our engineers handle high-speed digital, RF, and analog designs using Altium Designer. We ensure manufacturability through DFM/DFT analysis and deliver tested assemblies for defense, aerospace, and industrial applications.
Biometric Monitoring
Wireless biometric systems monitor respiration and pulse rates without physical contact. Deployed in healthcare or security settings, these devices track vital signs through walls or foliage, enabling remote patient monitoring or covert surveillance with web-based access via mobile apps.
UAV Detection
Counter-UAS technology detects low-flying drones using Micro-Doppler signatures. The system identifies, tracks, and logs unauthorized UAVs near critical infrastructure or military zones, providing early warning for threat mitigation in urban or remote environments.
FPGA Development
Custom FPGA solutions optimize parallel data processing for AI, defense, and aerospace applications. VAWD engineers leverage Xilinx tools to design reprogrammable circuits for radar waveform generation, signal processing, and industrial IoT systems.
