25 April 2014: IERUS Technologies Inc. is pleased to announce that we are a finalist/contender for the Best Places to Work by the Huntsville Chamber of Commerce for the second year in a row. “This is a recognition of IERUS’s philosophy that our employees are our greatest asset” said Dr. Jason Keen, IERUS President. “IERUS is committed to hiring and retaining top talent and the best way to do that is to ensure our employees are happy.”
23 January 2014: IERUS Technologies is pleased to announce today that the Navy has selected IERUS as a SeaPort-e prime contractor in Zones 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7. SeaPort-e is the Navy’s IDIQ contract vehicle for acquiring support services in 22 functional areas including Engineering and Business functions. IERUS’s main areas of interests lie in four areas of the Statement of Work: Research and Development, Modeling and Simulation, Measurement Facilities, Range and Instrumentation Support, and Prototyping, Pre-Production, Model Making and Fabrication Support but can support the Navy in all SeaPort-e focus areas. The IERUS team for the proposal included Asymmetric Technologies and Lockheed Martin. “IERUS is a company focused on transitioning cutting edge research and development technology to the war-fighter. This win gives IERUS and our teammates the opportunity to bring cost effective solutions and novel products to the Navy,” said IERUS President Jason Keen, “We are excited about the opportunity, ready and prepared to support the Navy.”
19 December 2013: IERUS Technologies is pleased to announce today that the Missile Defense Agency has selected IERUS for a Phase II Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) award on “Telemetry Impact Reduction for Target Objects”. IERUS will work to design telemetry antennas that reduce the impact to ballistic missile defense target signatures. During Phase I of this SBIR, IERUS designed and simulated performance of antenna elements for transmission and receipt of telemetry and simulated the impacts of the antenna structures on the signatures of the representative objects. During Phase II IERUS will design the remaining elements and refine the design to ensure minimal impact to the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) sensors. During Phase II IERUS will also build and test prototypes of the antennas for incorporation into target vehicles. “Development of representative targets to test the systems we are putting into the hands of our warfighters is of the upmost importance” said IERUS President Dr. Jason Keen, “it ensures that when faced with a real world situation our systems will be able to respond predictably and protect our soldiers. This development will further the representativeness of the targets being used in the BMDS test program.” Approved for Public Release: 13-MDA-7654 (17 December 13)
4 October 2013: IERUS Technologies is pleased to announce receipt of the Alabama Launchpad Innovation Leader Award for contributing to Alabama’s innovation economy. IERUS specifically was awarded for our work within the SBIR program, contributing to Alabama’s economic growth. IERUS was one of 35 Alabama companies receiving this award which recognizes companies securing funding for early-stage innovation ideas. IERUS Technologies is a HUBZone certified and compliant company headquartered in Huntsville, Al specializing in technologies of the electromagnetic spectrum.
31 January 2013: IERUS Technologies Inc. is pleased to announce the initial release of its flagship computational electromagnetics (CEM) package V-Lox. The namesake comes from the Latin velox, meaning “speed.” V-Lox utilizes advanced techniques to execute in a computationally efficient manner — translating to larger problems that can be solved quickly on modest computer resources. V-Lox has been demonstrated on real-world problems with over 1M unknowns and can solve problems with 150k unknowns in as little as 1 hour. The initial release comes with an efficient out of core solver, meaning that problem sizes are limited only by the available hard drive space. “This software is a very powerful tool that IERUS has been using for quite some time internally to conduct antenna and material designs and for solving scattering problems. We knew the limitations of current tools and had to design V-Lox so that we could solve massive problems in the short time available and without the prohibitive costs of other less capable packages,” said IERUS Executive Vice President Michael Roesch. Version 2.0 is expected to be released third quarter CY 2013. The next release will contain multi-GPU hardware based acceleration. GPUs have been used in the past for software acceleration but IERUS personnel were the first to use GPU acceleration for fast direct solvers. “With modern GPUs, we are able to observe ~10X speed-up on large, practical problems in our daily, industrial use of V-Lox. This is compared to the highly optimized CPU implementation of V-Lox running on the best available Intel processors,” said Chief Engineer and V-Lox lead designer Dr. Daniel Faircloth. IERUS Technologies Inc. is a HUBZone certified company based in Huntsville, AL, and is in a Department of Defense-sponsored Mentor-Protégé relationship with Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. IERUS provides systems engineering, program management, and analysis support in the defense and commercial sectors. IERUS specializes in RF spectrum design and analysis, globally optimized based design and hardware/software acceleration techniques.
