Seasoned Innovators
IC2 brings over 20 years of experience in developing precision sensors for aerospace measurements. With a team of in-house sensor developers, we use industry-proven development techniques to maximize performance. From wall shear stress and dynamic pressure to aeroacoustic measurements and distributed sensor arrays, IC2 solutions are trusted by leading organizations to generate high‑fidelity data that accelerates design validation and scientific discovery.
IC2 employs MEMS manufacturing and micromachining to produce our sensors. When used skillfully, MEMS can maximize performance, spatial resolution and consistency (for sensor-to-sensor matching). Our micromachining employs:
- thin-films for increasing bandwidth and dynamic range
- photolithographically-defined features for precision, uniformity and high spatial resolution.
- backside contacts and advanced packaging techniques to enable truly flush-mounted sensors that are hydraulically smooth for minimal flow disturbance.
- Our sensors are then put through a rigorous characterization process, including careful calibration and environmental testing to ensure accuracy and operability in their application settings.
Experienced Test and Measurement Background
IC2 leverages internal domain expertise in fluid dynamics, aerodynamics & aeroacoustics test when developing new sensors. Our team is actively engaged in the aerosciences research community, continually learning from the latest research in academia and across the industry, in addition to leading and sharing our own research and findings. Members of our team contribute to technical working groups and standards committees across the aerospace and measurement technology industries.
IC2 regularly partners with industry leaders in aerospace vehicle development and testing and works closely with key government R&D labs across NASA and DOD to address critical measurement gaps and continue to push the state of the art in precision sensing.
The end result of this combination of precision sensor expertise and deep aerospace test knowledge is a suite of scientific-grade measurement tools that offer higher bandwidth, greater dynamic range, increased accuracy and precision, and better spatial resolution than the competition; all designed explicitly for the challenging environment of aerospace measurements.
From Research to Reliable
With a strong track record in SBIR funded research, technology maturation, and commercialization, IC2 bridges the gap between laboratory innovation and deployable instrumentation. Our in-house capabilities span sensor design, MEMS development, custom electronics, calibration, and system level integration, enabling us to deliver robust measurement solutions tailored to demanding test applications.
