Microwave Techniques, an innovative manufacturer of high-power microwave components and RF solutions, and wholly-owned subsidiary of The Elmet Group Co. (NASDAQ:ELMT), today announced it has entered into a definitive license agreement with Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA), operator of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), for the ARC Sentry arc detector technology.

The agreement grants Microwave Techniques a non-exclusive copyright license to manufacture and commercialize the ARC Sentry system.

The ARC Sentry is an arc detection platform designed to protect critical RF infrastructure from damage caused by arcing in high-power environments. The system, originally developed for the 2nd generation National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), detects optical evidence of arc propagation and issues an interlock signal to stop propagation before hardware damage occurs.
