Our people are what make us great.
Sensor Integration and Utilization
As the leader in Invisible Battlespace solutions, CTI brings unmatched expertise in sensor integration and utilization.
From advanced modeling and simulation to inform sensor placement, to seamlessly integrating sensors with GovOpen platforms, data analytics solutions, and situational awareness tools like TAK, CTI empowers its Government customers and warfighter (& public safety) end-users with solutions capable of ingesting and fusing data from diverse sensor feeds.
As an engineer who has worked at CTI for years and integrated many sensors into GovOpen solutions, I find it incredibly rewarding to know the warfighter has access to layers of data within a single COP. I know if I was out there I’d want access to all the relevant information in one platform – so I’m happy I get to be part of the team delivering that user experience.
