primarily on target recognition and missile
seeking technology.
Eventually, the company's research transi-
tioned into the development of technology
specializing in recognizing, identifying and
finding objects spatially, and thendetermin-
ing how those objects exist in space relative
to one another.
"So we went from building missile seekers
to building rendezvous and docking tech-
nology for the International Space Station,
Hubble Space Telescope and, more recently,
providing similar technology for robotic he-
licopters," saidChris Centamore, Director of
Business Development.
"In parallel to a lot of those developments,
we started looking at how we could apply
some of these technologies from the electro-
optical world− the detection and identifica-
tion world−to biometrics,” he added. "That's
really how we started out six or seven years
ago getting into developing non-contact fin-
gerprint technology, and that's been a big
part of the focus of the company for about
the past four or five years."
ON THE LEADING EDGE
AOS' focus on non-contact fingerprint
technology led to the development of their
AIRprint core technology. Today, a number
of the company's featured products use that
core technology under the Automated Non-
