Pervasive Stare HDR ™ is a next generation, airborne reconnaissance camera hardware and software solution that is designed to deliver very near real-time interpreted thermal infrared imagery intelligence, geospatial intelligence and measurement and signature intelligence.
Applications for the Pervasive Stare (HDR) technology include:
- Rapid Response Reconnaissance
- Pipeline Integrity
- Border Patrol
- Drug Interdiction
- Search and Rescue
- Environmental Monitoring
- Damage Assessment
- Change Detection
- Sovereignty Monitoring
- Shipping Surveillance
- Fisheries Area Management
- Wildfire Intelligence
- Counter Pyroterrorism
PS-HDR software suite delivers a solution for the entire ISR work-flow including mission planning and optimization, tasking, collection, processing, exploitation and dissemination. Elements of the camera block include a wide area, configurable, step framing ,thermal infrared (long-wave Infrared – LWIR) sensor. Additional sensors will be available in our generation 4 design. PS-HDR innovation unifies collection and processing with Range and Bearing’s Real-Time Ortho-rectification (RTO) engine which corrects every imagery pixel for sensor and optics parameters, gimbal pointing angle, aircraft position, aircraft attitude as well as terrain. RTO exploits cutting edge GPGPU compute power to deliver airborne supercomputing in an extremely small form factor.
