Description
There is a critical Naval need for improved EO systems for detection, recognition, and identification of small, fast, agile boats. Through laboratory work and modeling, SA Photonics will determine the relevant spectral and polarimetric signatures from small boats, their wakes, and the surrounding waves and calm water. SA Photonics will then leverage this understating to design a small, lightweight system for use in both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. <br><br>SA Photonics is pleased to propose the development of the MultiEye system to meet this challenge. MultiEye employs proven SA/NCSU innovations with demonstrated results from related applications. We will leverage new advances in computational imaging, including greatly improved neural network algorithms, and our innovative spectral engine design to create a high performance optical system in a compact form factor.
