Details and quotes are drawn from an Ohio Department of Development announcement.
Raider Technologies has been awarded a $100,000 Technology Validation and Start-up Fund (TVSF) grant from the Ohio Third Frontier Commission to commercialize a new radar solution for the Advanced Air Mobility market.
The technology utilizes a unique frequency-diverse array radar architecture to detect and track designated targets, and was developed at the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).
"We're proud to support these cutting-edge advancements and the Ohioans who are making them happen," said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine.
Raider's award was part of $1.1 million in TVSF grants the Ohio Third Frontier Commission approved to help Ohio companies bring innovative new products to the marketplace. The program provides grants to Ohio companies aiming to license institution-owned technologies, accelerating commercialization through activities such as market research and further prototyping.
