“We can carry a couple of different models of
Synthetic Aperture Radar [SAR] on the belly of the aircraft and a SIGINT [signals intelligence] payload that can be carried with antennas distributed across the aircraft.
We also carry a wide area visual camera search system known as Visual Detection and Ranging, or ViDAR.” You can read more about
Shield AI’s ViDAR system here.
Shield AI has also developed a sensor payload known as
Sentient Tracker, which combines artificial intelligence with Shield AI’s (formerly Sentient Vision Systems) moving target indicator. Its
AI-enabled tracking allows operators to automatically detect moving objects within electro-optical (EO) or infrared (IR) full-motion video.
“During a recent demonstration, the
Shield AI team performed a
search over an area twice the size of Dallas, in about 90 minutes,” explains Harris. That demonstration enabled us to get an image file of every person and every single vehicle in that entire area. Comparing that to a moving target indicator radar image, for example, where you get loads of little dots on a map, with our system you get an actual image.”
