Rapid Prototype Engineering (RPE) and Design For Manufacturing (DFM) are two key infrared systems engineering capabilities that Dexter Research now offers its customers.

It has been decades since the rest of the nation saw Michigan’s vital contribution to our national defense.

With the help of the Dexter Research, soldiers in combat on the front lines may soon be able to remotely detect a biological attack - and exactly what chemical to protect themselves against - with the help of a portable sensor system.

Dexter's infrared sensors are used in a variety of applications: gas analysis, fire suppression, security systems, environmental monitoring and space exploration, to name a few.

Launched in 1977, Dexter evolved from defense research at the University of Michigan. For many years the company held a monopoly on infrared thermopile detectors and didn't need to promote itself. Yet industry changes brought new competitors and pressure from customers to reduce prices, resulting in flat sales from 2002 to 2004.

Under the leadership of President Robert S. Toth, Jr., Dexter Research Center enjoyed record growth and increased market share in 2005 as it met the challenge of global competitors and new and competitive priced products manufactured offshore.

Thanks to new products—including the world’s smallest infrared thermopile detector—aggressive marketing and industry-leading customer service, Dexter Research added 62 new customers from around the world and grew its revenue 22 per cent.

Announcing the new ST60 with Integrated Module. Our Motion Detection — Presence Sensor is targeted for high volume, cost sensitive, drop in applications, where the system designer is interested in a fully functional subsystem, with minimum cost and effort. The passive infrared sensor forms the heart of the system, requires little power to operate and meets or exceeds all industry standard measures for quality and consistency.

U.S. Congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI) announced today that funding for Dexter Research Center, Inc. was approved in the Department of Defense Appropriations Bill that recently passed the House. The bill will now go to the U.S. senate to be voted on as a part of the fiscal 2008 appropriations process.
“The Department of Defense must have the capability to respond to chemical and biological attacks, and this important project will increase the safety of our men and women in uniform,” Walberg said.
