Business Summary
Power Spectra, Inc. is a high technology corporation engaged in the design and fabrication of proprietary power semiconductor systems that switch megawatt power levels at sub-nanosecond pulse durations with excellent pulse integrity and repeatability. Prior to the second half of 1996, the Company was largely involved in research and development. Until 1996, the Company had primarily focused its technology on military applications. In mid-1996, the Company made a decision to focus the bulk of its efforts on the development of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology and systems for a variety of commercial applications. Power Spectra had launched a comprehensive analysis of the commercial GPR systems marketplace, and simultaneously had successfully tested an application of its enabling technology in a stand-off GPR system. Based on this demonstration and the subsequent market assessment, the Company changed its principal business focus from the military to the commercial sector.
