Company Description

Problem

Human-operated airborne imaging systems require highly trained observers to locate small objects in vast environments, which is inefficient, labor-intensive, and time-consuming. Existing mapping cameras lack real-time operating environments, forcing users to wait until flights conclude to work with the data.

Solution

Overwatch Imaging provides software-driven airborne imaging solutions that automate sensor operation and data processing for wide-area search, ISR, and mapping missions. The company's systems leverage computer vision, GPU processing, AI, and sensor fusion to automate critical tasks, enabling real-time analysis and delivery of actionable intelligence. Overwatch Imaging's solutions analyze full-resolution imagery in real-time, enabling immediate checks of coverage and quality while the aircraft is still in the area of interest and data delivery during flights, or much faster afterwards. The systems transmit only the required data, allowing timely intelligence even in areas with poor communications infrastructure.

Features

Automated Sensor Operator (ASO) software compatible with common FMV gimbals to automate sensor control and imagery analysis.

Mission-specific AI for small target detection, automated mapping, and scene change detection.

Smart Sensors, including PT SERIES (outward-facing EO/IR) and TK SERIES (nadir-oriented multispectral) payloads.

Real-time data delivery in KML or shapefiles, enabling cross-cueing of other sensors and in-flight download of image chips or full-resolution raw images.

Onboard processing for target detection and classification.

Step-stare imaging across yaw axis with 360° rotation for unlimited situational awareness (PT Series).

Step-stare imaging across the roll axis for optimal coverage and resolution (TK Series).

Target Audience

The primary customers are organizations involved in wide-area search, ISR, and mapping missions, including those in fire and emergency services, maritime search and ISR, tactical intelligence, and inspection and mapping.
