ABOUT

Skyline Instruments is a spin-off from the University of Virginia's Far Infrared Receiver and Terahertz Laboratory, specializing in the design and manufacturing of non-traditional radios. We focus on developing instruments for defense, space, and commercial industries, creating a cooperative dense network of radios to analyze natural and man-made phenomena that would be challenging or impossible to detect with a single sensor.
