Spartan Radar develops Biomimetic Radar™, a software platform that uses machine learning and edge-processing to improve existing radar performance for automated mobility. Its technology delivers an all-weather, high-resolution sensor intended to support safe commercialization of L2+ autonomous mobility and mimics human perception processes for enhanced focus and context. Proprietary algorithms speed processing and reduce radar shortcomings such as lower resolution and false detections. The company’s software is largely hardware-agnostic and can be deployed on existing radar systems. Spartan Radar plans to use the $15M Series A to scale recruiting of top talent and to further productization of its safety technology. Nathan Mintz is Founder and CEO; the company is based in Los Alamitos, California.
