.

Harsh Environment Applied Technologies Incorporated was created in 1997 in Virginia and is now located in LaPlata and White Plains, Maryland.

We design and manufacture advanced digital imaging equipment for military, industrial inspection and machine vision applications. Unlike many companies that develop software or hardware H.E.A.T. develops and manufactures highly integrated systems requiring multi-disciplined engineering solutions.

Our expertise is focused on systems that have small to medium production runs. However we recognize the necessary development of prototypes and proof of concept systems as a necessary path to reach production. Fast cost effective prototyping is one of our signature abilities

H.E.A.T. is a professional woman owned small business and often teams with other companies for larger complex programs and SBIR, STTR research opportunities.

Experience, Personnel and Facilities.
We have extensive experience in the field of digital imaging and specialize in extreme performance in terms of resolution to 12500 X 8500 pixels, speed to 1 million frames per second, exposures to 500 picoseconds, acquisition rates to 1GByte per second, image size to 750Mbytes per frame and electro magnetic spectrum from Ultraviolet to Long Wave Infrared.

Internet, Intranet and Remote conferencing facilities
These are used with great effect on a daily basis between H.E.A.T. management and technical personnel and our contractors and customers, and provide immediate access to appropriate information and project data.

Training Facilities - Internet courses - seminars - e-manuals

Field Applications Engineering - To support all H.E.A.T. technologies and projects.

The H.E.A.T. engineering team focuses on:
> research
> concept development
> value added engineering
> OEM Production

The company is split into two divisions, Commercial and Military.

Military Mission Statement "Let our enemies fear the shadows"
To provide exceptional performance dual and triple band fusion system for armored and man portable applications that will maintain and extend the capabilities of the United States military to protect its servicemen and women and overcome, with massive technical superiority, the enemies of the United States of America on land, sea and air.

Commercial Mission Statement "Service First"
To design, prototype, develop and manufacture advanced digital imaging systems for specific imaging applications. We undertake to provide polite, responsive and effective service to meet our customers' needs.

H.E.A.T. Military Products

H.E.A.T. produces single, dual and triple band products for the United States Military. These fall into five categories.

FusionWarrior™: A dual waveband helmet or head mounted body worn electronic Digital Fusion Goggle with Long wave Infrared and Gated Intensified I2 system for day and night vision operation.

ArmorVisio™: A triple waveband transparent armor system for Future Combat Systems.

MarineDefender™: An automated dual waveband target detection identification and tracking system for harbor perimeter defense of vessels.
It is specifically designed to protect vessels in port against attack from small high-speed craft.

Rapier™: An unmanned steerable field surveillance system with dual waveband fusion core ERLF, fire control data interface.

Vixen: A series of systems for single dual and triple band remote and telerobotic imaging devices.

ImageVortex: A family of multi-waveband fusion engines

EO Wavebands
H.E.A.T. is the only company in the World to build systems in UV/VIS/NIRI2/SWIR/MWIR/LWIR wavebands for both armored and body worn applications. Additionally FusionWarrior™ systems interconnect to FBCB2 tactical internet and FCS variants to bring true network centric situational awareness to the Warfighter.
