 Fulcrum is focused on six major technical areas where the benefits of new passive sensor and information technology can be applied: 

Remote Sensing Systems for Surveillance, Safety, and Security -- Remote sensing, using automated, unattended systems that integrate sensors as well as communications equipment, offers new alternatives for achieving higher levels of facility security and surveillance while reducing labor costs.

Modeling and Simulation -- Modeling and simulation of various distributed test beds including test design for a prototype system, data collection, and analysis. Design and test automatic target recognition algorithms for the purpose of comparing performance of statistical- and model-based algorithms.

Signal Processing -- Develop, implement, test, and document numerous advanced signal processing algorithms and techniques on a variety of systems. Signal processing is an integral component of most of our projects including the development of advanced detection, classification, localization, and tracking algorithms for a variety of tactical and surveillance applications.

Transportation System -- Develop, integrate, install, and support systems and sensors to provide a low-cost reliable means for monitoring the status and safety of transportation subsystems. Also, develop and support systems for improving transportation traffic safety.

Environmental Monitoring Assessment and Mitigation -- Assess the impact of noise on the natural environment and the quality of life for communities near government and industrial facilities and develop technical solutions to mitigate adverse noise impacts

Material Evaluation -- Provide new materials for military applications such as domes, coating for vehicles, damping materials, sound absorbing, and testing. Evaluate material properties as recommended by ASTM standards.
