Electromagnetic Systems Analysis
Modelling and diagnosing scattering behaviours across the spectrum.
Modern defence and security rely on electromagnetic systems: radar, comms, sensing, and countermeasures. Yet these systems rarely behave as cleanly as models predict. Waves scatter from sea states, reflections interfere with targeting, and materials designed to absorb radiation perform differently under heat or stress. The result? Blind spots, degraded performance, and risks that may not be noticed until too late.
This is where Synchronous Science comes in. We specialise in diagnosing and modelling electromagnetic scattering behaviours across the spectrum. That means we look at how energy interacts with real environments, from high-frequency communication systems to personal cellular devices, IoT networks, and optical camouflage.
Our approach combines:
Literature reviews and deep investigations to establish a technical baseline.
Simulation and modelling, including low-complexity physical models, to capture key behaviours.
Hands-on validation, ensuring models reflect what hardware actually does.
Engineering-ready insights, turning scientific depth into practical decisions.
Our analyses include:
Wave propagation studies, accounting for real-world materials and structures.
Reflection and scattering diagnosis, pinpointing where disruptive behaviour may originate.
Interference and shadowing assessment, revealing gaps in coverage or system resilience.
Performance validation, ensuring that insights translate into operational advantage.
For example, our work on hydrodynamic scatter from wind-blown sea surfaces helped improve maritime surveillance systems by showing how sea states can distort signals. In another case, we modelled atmospheric turbulence to understand how laser dazzle blinds pilots, leading to improved countermeasures and safer operations.
We adopt a systems-thinking perspective. Rather than focusing on a single component, we consider the entire environment: hardware, atmosphere, terrain, and operator. This makes our analysis not just technically rigorous but operationally relevant.
Our mission is simple: give you clarity where you most need it. With clear evidence and tested insights, you can design systems with confidence, deploy them with fewer surprises, and trust their performance when lives depend on it.
