DroneOptID Launch

DroneOptID software offers the latest in Computer Vision technology to detect, identify and track drone targets in real time. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) model has been developed specifically for drone detection and works seamlessly with DroneShield’s range of best in class drone detection and countermeasure devices.

The software is able to take geographical and environmental data from other sensors in order to slew and validate a drone threat. Once the drone is in the field of view of the camera, using proprietary DroneShield algorithms, the DroneOptID software uses motion tracking and machine learning techniques to identify and track the target.

DroneOptID software enables more accurate tracking for manual or autonomous identification of drone threats. The software assists operators to manually determine other characteristics about the drone including payload, modifications and effectiveness of active countermeasures to ensure the response matches the threat.

BENEFITS OF DRONEOPTID:

• Sensor Fusion: DroneOptID uses detection data from DroneShield or third party radar and RF detectors in order to make decisions about where the target is located.
• Additional Data: Enhances camera’s ability to accurately give a visual display on the moving target, including its payload (which may not be available via other sensors)
• Active Tracking: DroneOptID uses a unique combination of motion tracking and computer vision techniques to provide reliable ‘target on screen’ display.
• Flight Prediction: DroneOptID uses proprietary flight prediction algorithm to assist tracking even when the target is inhibited from view.
• Computer Vision: DroneShield employs the latest in computer vision technology to classify, localise and segment the image.
• Comprehensive Drone Database: The DroneOptID model that has been trained on close to 100,000 individual samples to classify targets, with ongoing enhancements.
• Confirmation: The operator can confirm whether active countermeasures (electronic warfare or kinetic) has been effective in mitigating the advance of the drone threat.
• Deployable: DroneOptID comes preloaded and contained to a 19inch rack server for integration, installation and deployment.
• Protected: 19inch rack server provided in rugged carry case.
