Products
Compact laser source family
A family of compact, ruggedized laser modules designed for targeting and lidar applications across multiple wavelengths and power classes, optimized for low-SWaP-C platforms.
Lidar for degraded visual environments
A high-frame-rate, geo-referenced 3D lidar sensor designed to generate real-time 3D maps in degraded visual environments to support pilotage and obstacle avoidance.
Bathymetric pushbroom/streak-tube lidar (bathymetric lidar)
An airborne bathymetric lidar system combining pulsed laser fan beams with streak-tube imaging to produce high-resolution bathymetry and topography from aircraft and UAS.
Passive optical counter-UAS detection system
Modular, passive camera-based detection and tracking system using neural-network classifiers to detect and track multiple small UAS and swarms with low false alarm rates.
Real-time sensor fusion and decision optimization module
A deployable software and hardware package that fuses heterogeneous sensor inputs into a unified tactical display and prioritizes high-confidence events for operator action.
Automated image-based monitoring and casualty triage system
A system combining deep neural networks and signal processing to detect humans, estimate 3D pose, characterize wounds, and extract vital signs from imagery for remote triage and CASEVAC support.
