The awards took place yesterday at the state-of-the-art Portsmouth Centre for Creative and Immersive Extended Reality (CCIXR). STS Defence’s award recognises the success of a recently-won contract from the Ministry of Defence to develop and demonstrate innovative software algorithms to capture noise and vibration data from sensors in order to identify defective channels so that they can be removed from the data-stream prior to processing by other systems.
