About
About Aura Intelligent Systems
QuadRay is a software-defined imaging radar built from distributed MIMO antenna heads and central processing. Active beam steering and Chirp Spread-OFDM produce centimetre-resolution spatial measurements while reducing ambiguity, multipath ghosting, interference and jamming in dense urban or industrial environments.
The architecture combines sensing and communications and exposes raw radar data for machine-learning development. Aura targets 360-degree perception and 4D positioning for robots, autonomous vehicles, industrial systems and counter-drone applications that must continue operating through darkness, fog, snow or dust. QuadRay remains a beta platform offered through a limited early-access programme rather than a broadly shipped production sensor.
