Overview
SES turns basic scientific ideas into ready-to-use sensor products by guiding projects from R&D and prototyping to high-volume manufacturing. It operates a unified workflow across its Columbia, MD R&D labs and Huntsville, AL manufacturing and integration facilities, plus additional spaces, to rapidly develop and deploy sensors for commercial and government customers. The company maintains strict quality and compliance through ISO 9001/AS9100/AS9110, FAA Part 145, and DCMA oversight, and holds preferred supplier certifications with Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and L3 Communications. Its goal is to deliver reliable sensor products and related engineering services at scale.
