HEAT careers

Emissions Detection And Reporting, commonly known as EDAR, is a new remote sensing technology invented and developed by Hager Environmental & Atmospheric Technologies (HEAT). This technology is an eye safe laser-based technology capable of remotely detecting and measuring infrared absorption of environmentally critical gases coming out of a moving vehicle. EDAR contains a multi-patented system of hardware and software, which allows for a multi spectral 3-dimensional image of the entire exhaust plume of a moving vehicle. Additionally, EDAR provides an increased sensitivity, in some cases of over 2,000%, and resolutions of a million times greater versus existing technologies in use today.

​EDAR’s technology is designed to collect data on various gases (CO, CO2, NOx, HC and PM) as part of an unmanned system. Since EDAR uses remote sensing technology, these units require only periodic maintenance and do not need to be calibrated, which allows EDAR units to operate as unmanned systems.
