Neural Propulsion Systems claims significant radar breakthrough

Behrooz Rezvani, founder and CEO of Neural Propulsion Systems, cuts to the chase quickly. “We can improve the performance of any radar and help it see clearer, farther and sooner,” he said. Using a mathematical framework initially discussed in an MIT research paper 14 years ago, Rezvani says his company can take any manufacturer's radar unit and help it:

Increase resolution by a factor of 10 for two-dimensional imaging

Suppress 10 times the number of false positives

Detect targets at twice the current distance with a lidar-like point-cloud density

Differentiate notoriously difficult targets, such as pedestrians walking or standing next to parked vehicles

NPS Executive Consultant Lawrence Burns, the former head of GM research and development, has seen plenty of advancements during deep involvement with the development of night vision and adaptive cruise control. But he always knew existing radar systems were not yet the answer for the future needs of hands-free driving and other features.
