4Sight™ Lidar for Aerospace & Defense
Off-the-Shelf Lidar Innovations
Ultra High Performance Lidar at a Fraction of the Cost
4Sight lidar for aerospace & defense delivers more precise and reliable perception to meet the demands of highly complex and high-speed detection scenarios — such as helicopter wire detection, identification of space debris, and advanced targeting. Using modular, off-the-shelf components, 4Sight lidar provides the aerospace & defense industry with real-time adaptive vision — where it’s needed, when it’s needed — at a fraction of its expected investment.
Search, Acquire & Track
Through its software-definable architecture, 4Sight lidar for aerospace & defense can dynamically adapt its scan patterns, allowing it to focus on what matters most in the field of view. This targeted data collection empowers our artificial intelligence to search a scene, acquire objects and understand what they are. Then, it intelligently improves the image in resolution and laser power and tracks the ones that matter. This expands the utility of our AI and allows for one lidar sensor to operate in multiple environments while maintaining optimal size, weight, power, and cost profile.
Right on Target
Designed to meet the rigorous performance requirements of the aerospace and defense markets, 4Sight lidar is capable of long-range detection exceeding one kilometer — beyond 3 kilometers with custom optics. It can “cue” off other sensors, or self-cue, and adapt once cued to place high-density scan regions of interest on and around targets. 4Sight’s patented capability to communicate with other sensing modalities such as radar and cameras makes it a seamless fit in many aerospace and defense applications, including full object identification, classification, sensor fusion, range instrumentation support, weapon defenses and mapping for high security zones.
