Digital Harmonic of Ellicott City, MD announced on July 22 the appointment of Mason Baron as chief technology officer. Baron brings 18 years of software development, large team leadership, artificial intelligence, machine learning, surveillance reconnaissance systems design, and imagery, signal, and radar processing experience to Digital Harmonic.
Most recently, he served as Minotaur chief Naval architect at Alion
Science and Technology. Before Alion, Baron was chief engineer of Battle Force
Projects at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, where he
was a principal designer, lead developer and lead engineer for the Ocean
Surveillance Initiative and Minotaur Mission Management System. Mason fielded
several significant improvements to airborne surface search radar, video, signal
and multi-intelligence data fusion processing that set the current state of the
art.
“We have developed two foundational technologies with a solid patent
portfolio that enable us to provide a leading-edge capability in multiple
market segments and are creating waves in the market with novel approaches to
both signal and image processing,” says Digital Harmonic’s CEO, Scott Haiges.
“Having Mason join us is an important acknowledgment of our existing technology
and brings us very high-level expert experience in furthering our capabilities.
We look forward to working with Mason on our technology advancements each and
every day.”
“Digital Harmonic has developed uniquely advanced imagery and signal
processing technology. PurePixel fills a critical void in video processing for
surveillance that improves the performance of all downstream processing and
exploitation and increases the range of effectiveness of existing
sensors,” said Baron. “I’m excited to help bring these technologies
to bear on the most challenging sensing problems across the military, law
enforcement, commercial, and medical domains.”
Baron holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Tulane University, and a Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Johns Hopkins University.
