Vizgard’s FortifAI visual autonomy software enhances existing systems with real-time visual intelligence and precise control of cameras and UxV platforms. This revolutionary, platform-agnostic solution runs on low-power edge processors and has been field-proven across various platforms, including UAVs, UGVs, USVs, C-UAS systems, long-range surveillance cameras, and even uncrewed submarines.
The powerful system enables advanced multi-domain autonomy and significantly increases situational awareness for better decision-making. The FortifAI platform offers an ever-expanding suite of essential features, including:
- Rapid integration with existing systems
- Time-critical visual and thermal video
- Person, crowd, and vehicle behaviour risk analysis
- Multi-camera and UxV automation
- Hot-swappable models for land, air and sea
- Open architecture to run your own models
FortifAI is interoperable with a wide variety of C2 (command and control) platforms and EO/IR sensors and gimbals. It is compliant with industry-standard protocols such as MAVlink, SAPIENT, NMEA, Pelco-D and ONVIF, making it easy to interface with your existing systems.
Vizgard has also developed an enhanced version of the popular QGroundControl drone software, customised for defence and security applications. VGroundControl allows one operator to control and monitor multiple AI-powered UxVs or ground-based Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras from mobile or desktop user interface.
Key enhancements include:
- Multiple screen layouts, including three video streams and one map.
- Parrot Anafi USA control.
- Drone FOV displayed on the map.
- Dynamic Automatic Target Recognition with filtering.
- Optical detections plotted on a map with GIF thumbnails.
- Automated NextVision gimbal steering.
- PTZ camera control (ONVIF, Pelco-D) with smart tours and auto-tracking.
- Tasking and monitoring of multiple drones.
- UxV object following and precision vehicle steering.
Vizgard also offers VizEdge, a rugged, wearable, low-SWAP computer that processes real-time sensor data at the tactical edge, offering up to 100 TOPS of AI compute for instant analytics and decision-making.
VizEdge processes high-bandwidth video and sensor data in the field, reducing latency, eliminating cloud dependence, and increasing security. The IP67-rated unit can be worn (MOLLE compatible), or mounted on a vehicle or unmanned platform.
