Braxton Technologies was acquired by Parsons in late 2020.

- Identify and develop new business opportunities relevant to the BSI mission areas- Expand existing capabilities to new customers

- Analyze LOS radar data from MASINT sensors to exploit target characteristics- Develop trend analysis tools to monitor changes over the history of the system

Worked with Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) to detect underwater mines using a synthetic aperture sonar system, which creates a high-resolution image of the sea floor more quickly and efficiently than the traditionally used side-scan sonar. This technology pings a spot several times from different positions to get a clear image from multiple angles. -Determined vehicle dynamic stability in the pitch, roll, and yaw axes in order to produce the clearer sonar images consistent with the requirements of the sonar system.

-Worked with the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) team on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL)-Using an ion-trap gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer, known hydrocarbon and aromatic compounds were analyzed to determine composition and abundances. - Numerous Mars analog samples from Svalbard, Norway were analyzed to compare to the standards.- Created an internal standard library, including molecular weight and abundances of compounds, for easy reference for unknown soil samples. This “standardized” database will prove invaluable when used in the comparison studies conducted on the actual Mars samples returned with the MSL.
