L.H. Kosowsky and Associates
have worked in millimeter wave technology for twenty-five years
and have been issued twenty patents describing system implementations.

They will attack any problem, research the options
and make complete and competent recommendations for solution implementation.





Principal Investigator: Dr. Lester H. Kosowsky
Dr. Kosowsky is an SME in all aspects of radar, millimeter wave, signal detection, radar systems, rotor blade radar, hostile fire detection and microwave radiometer.

Dr. Kosowsky received his Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD in Electrical Engineering from Yale University in New Haven, CT where he specialized in electromagnetic and wrote his dissertation on “Synthesis of the Phase Intercept Angle.”

On graduation, he began his professional career with United Technologies Corporation (now Northrop Grumman) Norden Systems, where he provided technical leadership and radar product innovations; and served as Director of Research and Development, Chief of Radar Research and Director of the Norden Patent Committee.

In 1996, Dr. Kosowsky founded L.H. Kosowsky & Associates Inc. which provides high level technical support and innovation to the government and major aerospace companies in the fields of radar and communications. He holds a professional engineering license, is a member of the IEEE and the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering. He holds a total of twelve United States patents granted and eight under secrecy orders.

Most recently Dr. Kosowsky has been a leader in the development of millimeter wave systems for the United States Army and holds three patents for suicide bomber detection for which a Phase II SBIR was awarded.

Additionally, L.H. Kosowsky & Associates, Inc. teamed with Malibu Research of Calabasas, California on a Phase II SBIR Program for the United States Army to develop SIGINT Antennas for UAVs.

Under his other company, Personnel Protection Technologies, LLC. Dr. Kosowsky has been awarded patents and contracts. The Army contracts were to design and test systems for the detection of terrorists. The sensor for the system operated at 77GHz and utilized dual polarization detection of radar signals from simulated armed terrorists. The vest contained inert explosives and were tested at Fort Monmouth base and Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. Additional programs were sponsored by Homeland Security providing terrorist detection demonstrations. A number of unclassified reports have been issued in this area, in addition to 3 U.S. patents in Dr. Kosowsky’s name. Further, Dr. Kosowsky has been awarded a patent for a Rotorblade Radar utilizing the blades of a helicopter as a reflector antenna.


Dr. Kosowsky has twenty three published technical papers including:
