Masters of the Signal
No one understands the signal environment better than Argon ST. Whether the enemy is communicating by RF signals or electronic transmissions, Argon ST has what it takes to detect, exploit, identify and locate those signals.
Problem Solvers
The threats are real; the challenges are immense. When it comes to arming US forces with intelligence that can be used to blunt the enemy and protect the warfighter, Argon ST has a passion for problem- solving. Its professional staff knows that any C5ISR solution is only as good as the understanding of a customer's mission, challenges and expectations.
People with Passion
At Argon ST, unleashing the intellect, talent and creativity of its people enables great things to happen. It is a hardworking team driven to design the right solution and deliver real results. It is made of people who rise to every occasion, who thrive on solving the unsolvable and who go the extra mile.
Product Line Approach
Argon ST's approach is based on an open architecture and a reusable capability. When it develops a C5ISR solution for a customer, it strives to use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology and adaptable software. This means that other forces and agencies can capitalize on a working solution without the extensive investments. Additionally, the capability will remain relevant as the environment evolves.
As missions grow increasingly challenging, Argon ST's innovation, agility and responsiveness become even more critical. This is why customers count on Argon ST for the Argon ST Advantage.
