DroneOptID

AI-Powered Optical Detection, Identification and Tracking Software

Item Number: 409-1

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.


Features

Active Tracking

The software is able to take geographical and environmental data from other sensors in order to slew and validate a drone threat.

Once in 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.

Comprehensive Drone Database

The DroneOptID model that has been trained on close to 100,000 individual samples to classify targets, with ongoing enhancements.

Operators can access past detection events and retrieve the camera recording with DroneOptID overlay as a means of high quality evidence collection.

Deployable

DroneOptID comes preloaded and contained to a rugged IP67 rated 19 inch rack server for integration, installation and deployment.


Advantages

  • Sensor Fusion

    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).

  • Flight Prediction

    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, localize and segment the image.

  • Confirmation

    The operator can confirm whether active countermeasures (electronic warfare or kinetic) has been effective in mitigating the advance of the drone threat.
