Neptune Mobile Devices, in Phoenix Arizona, is a research and development firm focused on delivering extremely agile and portable solutions for the aerospace and defense industries. One of Neptune's basic tenets is to utilize existing technologies developed outside the company. However, these existing technologies are then reworked, redesigned and rebuilt, adding greater dimension and functionality to the newly developed products and ultimately to the marketplace. Neptune provides the glue between innovation in existing technologies, re-invention and refinement, creating an entirely new product with an entire set of new market applications.
Neptune was started in 2009 by a team of military technology experts to develop mobile products and technologies that solve everyday problems faced by the defense, aerospace, and medical industries.
The team has worked on many of the nation's most important defense projects, and maintains close ties with customers and technology evaluators within the industry. Its position enables it to see the gaps between the everyday needs of the defense forces and available products. They are experts at adapting currently available components to build completely new products.
MIL-STD-1553 is a military standard published by the US Department of Defense that defines the mechanical, electrical, and functional characteristics of a serial data bus used by various systems on aircraft and ground vehicles. 1553 was published as a U.S. Air Force standard in 1973, and was first used on the F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft. Other aircraft designs quickly followed, including the F-18 Hornet, Apache helicopter, and recently, the Airbus A350. It now is widely used by all branches of the U.S. military and has been adopted by NATO.
Neptune Mobile Device's first product, the Argus 1553 Bus Visualizer™ enables ground personnel to analyze the systems on both aircraft and ground vehicles. Argus stands apart from other available systems due to its extreme agility at learning and recognizing different vehicles and configurations. It is both rugged and portable, enabling customers to use it on the flightline, in the maintenance yard, or in the lab. While other systems require an expert knowledge of the system, the easy-to-use Argus GUI allows users to specify the minimum amount of data that they need for the current task.
