Built on Award-Winning Technology
ForgeSolar uses the Solar Glare Hazard Analysis Tool (SGHAT) technology developed by Sandia National Laboratories. No other tool uses the comprehensive SGHAT algorithms for analyzing entire flight paths and discrete receptor points.
ForgeSolar is operated in part by Cianan Sims, who co-invented SGHAT and provides technical support and assistance to users on a daily basis.
