About
Echodyne is a radar technology company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Kirkland, Washington. The company was spun out of Intellectual Ventures and is commercializing Metamaterial Electronically Scanning Array (MESA) radar technology — a novel approach that uses engineered metamaterials to achieve the performance of traditional phased-array radar at a fraction of the cost, size, and weight. MESA radars can electronically steer their beam in 3D without any moving parts, enabling high-resolution, wide-field sensing in compact form factors suitable for drones, autonomous vehicles, ground robots, fixed-site security, and perimeter protection.
MKS Instruments (MKSI) reported $3.6B revenue in FY2024, up 15% YoY. Critical supplier of instruments and components for semiconductor manufacturing. HQ: Andover, MA. Market cap ~$6B.
