01 — Perception & autonomy
See, locate, act
Object detection, 3-D localization, scene understanding, GPS-denied navigation, and autonomous systems that have to decide without a perfect map.

Operational advantage.
OSAT turns research-grade machine intelligence into systems that can be fielded — for U.S. industry and government partners who cannot afford theater.
Why we exist
Most AI never leaves the lab. That is the gap we close.
We are a consulting firm with a product spine. Clients hire us to take methods from computer vision, geospatial sensing, and network science and make them work in the environments that actually matter — austere, real-time, and unforgiving of false confidence.
Practices
Three sectors. One standard.
We do not sell a buffet of buzzwords. We run three practices, each with a named problem and a way of working.
02 — Sensing & the physical world
Read the terrain
Remote sensing and large-scale geospatial analytics — turning spectral, radar, and location data into something an operator can use.
03 — Decision systems
Structure the hidden
Network science, graph methods, and advanced analytics for problems that are relational — logistics, influence, and multi-actor systems.
Flagship product
CIPHER
Standard detectors find one intact object. CIPHER finds a threat that has been broken into parts — or split across people and time.
Contraband Interdiction Platform for Hazardous Element Recognition. Built for screening environments where the interesting thing is never the obvious thing.
Engagement
How a program starts
01 — Assess
Map the mission
Operators, data you actually have, and the decision that has to get better. A written problem statement and a go / no-go in weeks, not quarters.
02 — Engineer
Stand up the working system
A model, a fusion layer, or a decision aid — scoped to the mission and instrumented so you can see where it fails.
03 — Deliver
Hand it to the operators
Integration, review in the loop, and a path to sustainment. If it cannot be used, it is not finished.
