Event-Driven Perception for the Tactical Edge

The battlefield demands sub-millisecond response in extreme environments with zero cloud dependency. We deliver ultra-low power vision systems capturing 10,000 fps equivalent at <2W — enabling real-time AI where GPUs physically fail.

Space Domain Awareness satellites

Space Domain Awareness

Event cameras detect brightness changes at microsecond resolution, tracking LEO satellites without motion blur even in daylight. Native spike processing eliminates frame reconstruction overhead.

Cognitive Electronic Warfare network

Cognitive Electronic Warfare

Process complex RF signals at sub-millisecond speeds for cognitive EW. Detect and classify threats faster than human reaction time.

Partner:Black Sheep Group
Capability:Signal classification in sub-millisecond vs 20-50ms for GPUs

The Event-Driven Advantage

Traditional cameras capture full frames 30 times per second—wasting power processing unchanged pixels. Event-driven sensors fire only when pixels detect change, enabling:

SPACE SURVEILLANCE: Track satellites moving 17,000 mph against bright Earth or dark space simultaneously—impossible for frame cameras that saturate or lose contrast.

This same principle scales to:

  • Autonomous vehicles navigating at 45+ mph
  • Industrial systems detecting vibration frequencies
  • Drones adapting to their environment in real-time
  • Robotics requiring instant obstacle detection

By processing only what changes, we achieve 10,000 fps equivalent performance at <2W.

Frame-Based (Wasteful)

Processes all pixels every frame

Event-Driven (Efficient)

Processes only changed pixels
