Leading Developer in Embedded Systems and Sensors

McQ is a leading developer of embedded systems, instrumentation systems, unattended ground sensors, and custom prototype systems, leveraging a wide variety of technologies. These sensor systems typically feature one or more multimodal sensor nodes connected via wired or wireless links to form robust networks.

Rugged Low-Power System Design

Our systems are designed to be user-friendly and rugged, capable of operating for months or even years on small battery packs or renewable power sources like solar panels. Each device integrates analog signal conditioning, communications modules, and signal processing/control software to achieve ultra-low power consumption without sacrificing high performance.

Networked Monitoring and Surveillance Capabilities

McQ’s networked systems address a wide range of monitoring and surveillance needs. Key application areas include:

  • Hostile environment monitoring

  • Situational awareness and activity detection

  • Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems

  • Secure global information networks

  • Complex user interface displays for system command and control

 

Field Deployment by Major Agencies

We have delivered thousands of sensor systems to customers worldwide. These solutions are actively used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Energy (DoE), Department of the Interior (DoI), Department of Justice (DoJ), and Department of Defense (DoD), as well as by numerous foreign governments.
