UK Defence Research & Technologies for the Military, Justice

ADM Shine Technologies Ltd was founded in September 2005 by the known resource Andrew Dawson-Maddocks who last headed up the MoD's vested Electronic Warfare / Electronic Surveillance and Countermeasures department. The tri-service capabilities and knowledge within the company stretch beyond the traditional Electronic Warfare set of capabilities of RWR, ESM, ECM, EA and ELINT, into sophisticated sets of capabilities which include SIGINT, COMINT, MASINT, HUMINT and COIN for the breadth of tactical through to strategic needs; From 20 Hz to 60 GHz. Fixed to Wireless. Plain or Encrypted....

Our knowledge set gives most of our products the edge of 'Ostendo sum quod inseqour' which is apt for our end customers and users as this is the ability to "Reveal & Pursue". It is this goal and the technological aspiration that gave the company its 'Shine' name - to brighten that which lacks luste and visability - in essence to reveal.

The commercial communications (not just military communications) knowledge within the company is significant and the key design knowledge of strategic as well as tactical capabilities makes the company unique within the market place of special projects and more than capable of creating high value with high impact innovation/IP.

The project work is complemented with a commercial thread to the business in the development of the next generation Flight Data & Cockpit Voice Recorders (ED112 compliant and soon the new ED155 compliant). The functionality of these recorders far exceeds the existing capabilities and recording times, offering significant safety benefits through whole life flight data analysis and maintenance schedule analysis. Our drive is to make crash analysis more focused and to mitigate (where possible) such events from occurring in the first place.

The combined recording capabilities are extended to include all images received from any craft borne CCTV cameras. They also include the sophisticated capabilities that ensure rapid location which go beyond the standard ELT (where fitted).

We have long recognised that in order to deliver effective defence and high end products you need strong security of the IT servers, firewalls and most often overlooked are the end clients. To that end we have finally approached SOPHOS and are pleased to announce that we are now a partner and will soon be offering all their high end solutions as a standard configuration on all our products that have a PC, Mobile Device or Server supplied by us for, and we will be offering the products for general sale business to business. You can see more at our Secure Products Pages for Platforms and Mobiles & Tablets.

Given our background and indeed what we do for the UK we have been pleased to contribute to the Government Consultation on Equipment, Support, and Technology for UK Defence and Security. A Consultation Paper ISBN 9780 1017 9892 1 - GREEN PAPER. Likewise we were please to contribute to the Justice and Security - GREEN PAPER - ISBN 9780 1018 1942 8. Our eight page response to the first Green Paper and three pages for the second may be obtained through the government FOI process.

Our new State of the Art Labs are under a year away - recruiting is about to commence in January 2012 to build the company to three dozen staff by end Spring 2012 and six dozen by end of December 2012. Potential staff should be aware that those who are or are thinking about becoming TA/Reservists (including those roles/trades with Special Engagements, or Civil Contingency Reaction Forces [CCRF], or High Readiness Reserve [HRR] status) are all warmly welcomed on very supportive terms [see SaBRE as to why we do this]. We warmly welcome British Armed Service Personnel joining ADM Shine Technologies Ltd for short term assignments, long term, career moves and for rehabilitation were possible.

The image above on this page is by Howard Godfrey and is the INMOS T900 in its base ceramic packaging prior to final testing and final encasement. It is not know if this was from the Gamma Design wafers - an important step in the evolution of Electronic Warfare Sensor design given the early HPC usage of the Transputer.
