Prometheus

About Us

Prometheus Inc. is a small, woman-owned mathematics and engineering research firm founded in 1983 that specializes in the application of highlevel mathematics to modeling, simulation and signal processing.

We employ sophisticated mathematics to solve some of the most vexing problems. Our objective is to improve our customers' system performance by the formulation, design and integration of accurate and computationally efficient algorithms.

Core Competencies:

With over two centuries of combined applied mathematical experience, Prometheus brings together academic and industry experts in:

  • acoustics
  • antenna array design
  • anti-submarine warfare
  • applied probability
  • digital filtering
  • Fourier analysis
  • mine countermeasures
  • optimization
  • pattern recognition
  • radar
  • scattering theory
  • signal processing
  • sonar
  • waveform design

When you work with a team of Prometheus Scientists you will have top-level applied mathematicians focusing on the specific problem of interest to you.

Technology:

Prometheus has worked for and with a wide array of Federal agencies and industry leaders to improve performance of defense systems. We apply our combined expertise to develop algorithms and software that avoid the need for hardware changes and exploit the capability of emerging hardware to reduce system costs.

Prometheus Goals:

  • Provide efficient mathematical solutions for straightforward integration
  • Dramatically improve system performance
  • Reduce system costs
  • Solve critical software implementation problems
