MCQ CORPORATE BACKGROUND

McQ Overview:

McQ develops high technology surveillance and remote sensor systems. McQ manufactures and

sells the advanced technology products we develop. McQ works from a “concept to product”

development process which has resulted in transitioning state of the art technology into fielded

military capabilities in very short periods of time. McQ develops new capabilities under research

and development contracts, as well as, produces high technology systems that result from the

product development efforts. McQ has a team of engineers and computer scientists that are

continuously developing new products. McQ is currently developing several important advances

in surveillance technology. McQ is currently developing commercial products to complement

our Government product portfolio. McQ is an Iridium Satellite partner company and Value

Added Reseller (VAR) and a Verizon Partner company. McQ has a production facility that

manufactures our products in a technology based process. McQ was founded in 1985, has

approximately 45 employees, is located in Fredericksburg, VA, and is ISO 9001:2008 registered.

McQ is a major supplier of Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS). McQ has supplied sensors to the

Army that have been delivered to Iraq, Afghanistan and to other military theaters. McQ sensors

are deployed in every Combatant Command. These sensors have successfully performed over

many years with excellent reliability in hostile hot and cold environments. The McQ supplied

OmniSense® UGS for DHS border monitoring on our southern border. McQ is supplying

iScout® and rScene® Micro Radar sensors to U.S. Army for Forward Operating Base Force

Protection and many operational applications. McQ is supplying sensors to the Counter

Narcotics and Terrorism Program Office (CNTPO) for applications in several overseas operating

areas. McQ is supplying iScout®, rScene® and OmniWatch® systems to the Department of

Energy for protecting sensitive facilities. McQ developed for U.S. Army Rapid Equipping Force

(REF) a sensor triggered, very low power, high resolution, IP networked, Portable ISR Video Kit

that can be easily carried and set up by one person. McQ has further extended this technology

and has provided it to DOE and to the Army for Foreign Military sales. McQ sensor systems are

integrated with many Government and industry surveillance systems. These systems enable

video cameras to be triggered by sensor target detections then be slewed to provide target video

to the user. All McQ sensor products are thoroughly tested during and following production to

ensure total correct functionality and performance. Every sensor delivered to our customers is

field tested in a realistic environment. McQ sensor products have proven their performance in

operational deployments.

McQ develops end to end remote sensing system solutions. Shown in

the figure is iScout®, one of our UGS products. iScout® is pushing into

new frontiers for UGS systems. The iScout® sensor system is designed

with a sensor architecture that significantly lowers the cost; sets new

levels for low power consumption; miniaturizes the sensor size;

implements a networked communications architecture with distributed

multisensor information integration to detect, locate, and track targets;

and provides the flexibility to use multiple RF architectures, depending

on the application. iScout® is ideal for setting up a surveillance

application where small sensors can be easily carried to the site by a

single person; can be set up and camouflaged quickly; can be monitored either in the surveillance

area or can be connected via networks to distant monitoring locations. These sensors push the

state of the art forward in providing surveillance information to improve the situation awareness

of surveillance areas. The iScout® unit is small (less than 14 in³ in volume) and monitors data

from four onboard transducers: a pyrometer for passive infrared (PIR), a MEMS microphone for

acoustic, a Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) sensor for magnetic, and a geophone for seismic. It

can communicate over several kilometers using an integrated radio.

McQ has developed an advanced OmniWatch® high

resolution digital video IP imaging systems integrated with

our iScout® and our rScene® UGS. This provides the user

with excellent quality video of targets. The use of UGS to

trigger the video substantially reduces the power consumption

of the video imaging system. The high resolution video

remains in a very low power state until the target detection

initiates the video system. The video cameras immediately

begin capturing the target images and these are temporarily

stored until the wideband digital RF wireless communication

link can begin sending the target video to the user. The Remote ISR video System can provide

video surveillance on a single BA Series battery for up to 30 days. It has been very well received

because of its ease of use, high performance, and reliable operation. It is also one of the most

power efficient video surveillance systems available on the market today.

McQ developed a video relay capability over the IRIDIUM OpenPort™

satellite communications system. The initial system was for an Army

“Lighten the Load” Protector robot vehicle. McQ has enhanced this Video

Transport system trade marking the product vWatch™. This system

provides for simultaneous video camera feeds from digital cameras that can

be relayed over low bandwidth networks such as a Satcom or a cell phone

link. The McQ vWatch™ Video System has the unique capability to throttle

the video system data rate to dynamically match a wireless communication

link variable channel bit rate. This system is designed to provide video

surveillance in a remote area and send video feeds over a wireless link to a

user. McQ has a video viewer for this application that can display the videos

being sent over an IP network on PC User interface display units. McQ is

working with Verizon to market vWatch as a commercial

product in parallel with the Government market applications.

McQ has developed the rScene® very small, low cost radar

ranging sensor system for smart ground emplaced unattended

sensor systems capable of detecting personnel and/or vehicles

which consumes less than 1 watt of power on average by

employing novel processing solutions and state of the art chip-

based implementations. One of the primary technical

challenges of unattended ground emplaced smart sensor

systems is to reliably detect personnel and/or vehicles

effectively, while achieving prolonged unattended operation. While a number of radar systems

have been developed and miniaturized for sensor systems, significant compromises have

previously been made in terms of clutter responses that cause false target alarms, power

consumption that reduces the active life when battery powered to unacceptably short durations,

performance precision for target location and tracking, and operator control required to use the

radar. McQ has designed a RF sensor that allows continuous sensing but consumes little power

to allow a more extended operational life. The RF sensor is designed for applications where other

unattended sensor technologies have issues with background activity, with target classification,

with defining target dynamic movement parameters, and with unmanned operation.

McQ has developed a complete array of user interface

products from server based large Common Operating

Picture (COP) systems, Tactical Situation Awareness

Displays (TacSAD), TacSAD Android Mobile (TAM)

User Interface Displays, Android Smart Phone and

Tablet Displays, to Web Server information displays.

These many user interface products use open standard

protocols, display sensor information, store

information, provide map based displays, provide

communication control and management, provide

information assurance and security, and provide

software to integrate with other systems. The military services

and other Government Agencies have been pursuing agency and

interagency data distribution integration with Internet Protocol

(IP) networks. McQ has developed satellite and terrestrial

communication networks to tie the McQ sensors systems to the

user. McQ has integrated these communications networks with

many military and civilian networked systems. Current system

integrations include Android smartphone and tablet applications.

McQ continues to push forward by developing a wide variety of

technologies and move these into applications. McQ is currently developing

advanced Information Assurance (AI) with a lightweight public key

encryption application designed for mobile networks, a distributed data

application to protect “data at rest” in databases, and uncloneable electronics

that make it impossible to access information stored in electronics boards.

McQ is developing a variety of new sensor technologies including advanced

air drop sensors, high speed 3D image tracking, shipboard hull strain

sensors, commercial production line sensors, ocean buoy security systems,

IED blast measurement sensors, and an advanced networked flying insect

monitoring device.

In summary, McQ has a proven track record of providing the latest

technology in systems fielded with a variety of Customers all over the

world.
