About Us
León Engineering professional consultants assist and work with the customer in application-driven solutions to their problems sets relating to developing, building, testing sensor systems, and overall design and function of systems. The business relationship, analysis, and guidance provided by León Engineering is focused on customer interests and needs as their experienced research and engineering resource. The customer goals for sensor and imaging system design, perfórmance, and cost control are first and foremost.
As part of the evaluation of customer needs, León Engineering can develop a high level strategic plan to evaluate present systems and products, make recommendations for your customer application(s), advise and provide hands-on sensor architecture development, evolve technical detail and guidance for present and future systems that can be realized in simple or advanced imaging and engineering solutions, engage in troubleshooting into challenges in existing systems, or evaluating the customer’s needs where these can be addressed with sensor, imaging, and algorithmic solutions.
Customer Experience
Strategic Planning
Key to embarking on a purposeful and ultimately successful project is development of a cohesive and forward-looking strategic plan. The expertise of León Engineering can be your team to establish guiding principles, goals, objectives, key performance indicators, targets to achieve, and specific actions, projects, trades, and initiatives to achieve the objectives. A well-constructed framework is essential in architecting a system and building a strategic roadmap for future upgrades in capability and performance.
System Evaluation
We can perform a Components Analysis for customers that are building sensor systems and developing products for their customers have established needs and system requirements. León Engineering has extensive experience and expertise in evaluating sensor systems from quick and dirty field tests to full-up Military Utility Assessments. Let us represent you to provide you with the expert in your corner to determine if and how your component specifications meet or exceed functional system and interface requirements as well as providing you with the best cost/benefits. León Engineering can provide you and your team with reporting resulting from component specification analysis, trade studies between different offerings, estimation of system suitability via requirements, identification of any component or package limitations, and other statistical and analytical processes that may be required specific to your system needs.
Why Us?
What help do you and your company need in imaging and sensor development, developing a streamlined engineering. process, or going into characterization, testing, and troubleshooting into your sensor system? We have decades of experience in:
- Phenomenology of EOIR, hyperspectral, and polarimetric imaging
- Building and developing sensor systems
- Finding and recommending suitable imaging components and vendors
- Establishing a clear mission statement and sufficient system requirements of what the system needs to do
- Designing and performing trade studies to determine how the system can perform its function
- Designing and recommending optións of how the systems functions and under what constraints it must function
- Ensuring through sound engineering practices that the completed system will provide you with the data, information, or function you need when you need it
Whether you are designing or building a sensor or imaging system, León Engineering knows what to look for to provide you with actionable information in meeting your company or agency needs. From being part of your engineering team to being your trusted expert in reviewing multiple vendor offerings, León Engineering expertise is available to you.
Engineering Expertise
Dr. Lee Sanders and other León Engineering associates have decades of industry experience in tackling science and engineering problems and evaluating sensor and imaging systems to meet the needs of the customer. This expertise is based in sound physics and engineering principles that form a foundation on which solution options can be developed. Our experienced engineer and scientist can consultant with your team and work with you in the office, in the lab, or in the field so your company can be successful. An examples of a typical proactive interchange begins with making sure the problem set or challenge is articulated clearly for the project in which you are engaged. Then we can progress into an analysis of your solution or work with you to develop that solution.
Imaging and Sensor System Modeling & DIRSIG Simulation
Modeling of imaging, sensor, and tracking systems can take a number of forms design or architecture can achieve the desired objectives.
- Parameter-based models: Sensor system and target parameters are used to mathematically model the physical characteristics to determine if the proposed sensor/imaging system is sufficient to perform its mission against that target or family of target variations.
- Example performance metric: signal-to-noise ratio of target
- Physics-based CAD models and calculated radiometry: A higher fidelity model where sensor systems and targets are modeled in 3-D CAD environments and DIRSIG simulations with physical and phenomenology attributes and simulation software is setup and run to model energy and light propagation are how this energy is received in a modeled sensor system and processed. For sensor design testing, these simulated images allow the engineering team to quality assess imagery from a yet-to-be-built sensor.
