Problem
Traditional night vision relies on expensive thermal cameras or analog Gen 3 image intensifiers with inherent limitations in resolution, cost, and performance. Standard electro-optical cameras fail to produce meaningful imagery in dark environments with only ambient starlight, creating a capability gap for security and defense applications.
Solution
Deepnight provides state-of-the-art digital night vision technology that transforms commoditized EO cameras into effective imaging systems for dark environments. The company's deep neural network aggregates photons temporally to recover true information from scenes, enabling meaningful imagery on the darkest nights illuminated only by starlight. This approach achieves higher performance at lower costs than thermal cameras, including in challenging moonless starlight conditions. Combined with digital image sensors, Deepnight's solution exceeds the performance of Gen 3 image intensifiers, establishing a new benchmark for digital night vision.
Target Audience
Primary customers are U.S. military and defense organizations, including the U.S. Air Force, as well as security providers requiring counter-UAS protection and critical infrastructure surveillance in dark environments.
