Dan McCaugherty brings over 35 years' experience in researching, developing, delivering, and operating complex, mission-critical systems for U.S. federal, partner nation, and commercial clients. Mr. McCaugherty founded Athena Sciences in 2009, steering the corporation to provide systems engineering for space systems; simulation- and emulation-based advanced test automation for embedded computing; development of cloud-based enterprise systems; and research and development of biometrics products and systems.
Biometric technology moves quickly: algorithms steadily improve speed and accuracy, new matching vendors have emerged with best-value offerings, and edge devices deliver more capability in smaller form factors. User agencies want to leverage today's market-ready technologies from every direction without getting stuck in a technology vendor lock or paying high prices for a custom solution. Athena Sciences's Aegis (TM) delivers that next-gen ABIS open architecture, empowering organizations to integrate today's technology—from any and multiple vendors—that best fit their operational requirements while remaining flexible to quickly adapt to tomorrow's challenges at an affordable price.
