Built by Engineers Who Understand the Mission
Phineas Laboratory is a Georgetown, Texas-based technology company and SBA-certified Service-Connected Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).
Instead of detecting heat signatures, FireSight uses millimeter-wave radar to send signals that pass directly through smoke, particulates, drywall, wood, and glass.
Our work is grounded in deep RF engineering expertise, military operational experience, and a commitment to building tools that save lives.
