Uniquesec

What Uniquesec does

Uniquesec AB is a Swedish private company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Gothenburg that develops frequency-domain radar target simulation (RTS) systems used to validate automotive radar sensors and ADAS functions in the laboratory. The company's hardware replaces the need for millions of miles of real-world driving expeditions by reproducing radar target signatures in a controlled, reproducible environment, including rare, dangerous, and corner-case scenarios that cannot be safely tested on public roads. Its primary customers are automotive OEMs, Tier-1 and Tier-2 radar suppliers, third-party testing facilities, certification bodies, and end-of-line production and workshop operators.

The product portfolio centers on two systems. ASGARD1 is an award-winning frequency-domain target simulator that generates radar target signatures by manipulating the spectrum of radar signals rather than through time delays, scaling from 16 to 256 virtual targets in real time for HIL/VIL test setups. ASGARD2 is the first compact automotive radar target simulator that emulates the angle of virtual targets electronically in the near field using MIMO architecture, operating in a 50 cm chamber with full field-of-view coverage and no mechanical movement. Both integrate with Siemens PreScan and IPG CarMaker environment simulators, and the underlying technology is protected by a growing patent portfolio that includes a first patent granted in 2017 and additional filings through October 2023. The CTO chairs the IEEE SA P3116 working group defining automotive radar performance and testing standards.

Uniquesec operates an enterprise field-sales motion, sells ASGARD hardware directly and through integration services, and pursues technology licensing as part of its patent strategy. In Japan, distribution is handled exclusively by Toyo Corporation, which integrates ASGARD2 into full vehicle-in-the-loop test setups for OEMs and JARI. Named enterprise engagements include Toyota Motor Europe (HIL integration with CarMaker), JARI (VILS test bench), and multiple Asian customers receiving ASGARD2 units in 2023. Total disclosed external funding is approximately 1.95M SEK (~$200K USD) from a 2015 Almi grant and financing round; the company is privately held, employs 11–50 people, and has no public listing.

Core offering

Uniquesec designs and sells ASGARD1 and ASGARD2, automotive radar target simulators that enable in-lab testing of radar sensors, ADAS functions, and autonomous driving systems. The systems generate radar target signatures in the frequency domain and (for ASGARD2) emulate target angles electronically via near-field MIMO, supporting up to 256 virtual targets for HIL/VIL and end-of-line test setups, with integration into environment simulators such as IPG CarMaker and Siemens PreScan.

Product overview

Uniquesec offers two fundamental automotive radar testing products: ASGARD1 and ASGARD2. ASGARD1 is the award-winning frequency-domain target simulator that generates radar target signatures in the frequency domain rather than through time delays, supporting up to 256 virtual targets for HIL/VIL testing. ASGARD2 is the next-generation near-field MIMO-based radar target simulator that electronically emulates target angles in a compact 50cm chamber without mechanical movement. Both products enable in-lab testing of automotive radars and ADAS systems, replacing the need for extensive real-world driving expeditions. The company previously offered a Radar Development Platform (RDP) for FMCW radars as a development and prototyping tool.
