SiLC Technologies has launched Eyeonic® Vista, a high-resolution 4D vision system designed for ultra-long-range sensing in mission-critical security applications.

SiLC Technologies Unveils Eyeonic® Vista Ultra-Long-Range 4D Vision System

The new 8-channel system utilizes dynamic Region of Interest (ROI) scaling to enhance resolution, enabling the identification and tracking of small targets at distances exceeding 1 km. These include drones, animals, humans, vehicles, and unauthorized vessels. Designed for ruggedized use, the platform provides specialized support for perimeter security, Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (CUAS) operations, and the monitoring of sensitive infrastructure, including airports, power stations, and military assets.

Modern security environments face a growing detection gap as small autonomous systems become more prevalent. Conventional radar often lacks the resolution required to identify small or slow-moving objects, while Optical-Electronic (OE) systems can be hampered by lighting conditions, environmental interference, and a lack of direct velocity measurement. Eyeonic Vista addresses these challenges by providing high-resolution spatial data combined with direct velocity sensing and polarization measurement, aiding the classification of objects even in low-visibility conditions such as fog or dust.

Mehdi Asghari, CEO of SiLC Technologies, commented, “Our high-resolution, long-range performance is driven by our innovative silicon photonics engine, which integrates multiple laser channels and coherent detectors on a single chip. Vista leverages 8 parallel channels to capture more data points per target, enabling precise imaging even in the most difficult outdoor conditions.”

The technical specifications of the system include an instrumented range beyond 1 km and an angular resolution as fine as 8 millidegrees. The platform utilizes micro-Doppler velocity measurement for real-time detection of speed and direction, alongside dual polarization sensing for material classification. The system is also designed to resist jamming and crosstalk in multi-sensor environments through its coherent detection technology.

Eyeonic Vista is IP65-rated for all-weather operation across varying lighting conditions. This makes it suitable for expansive environments such as borders, prisons, and maritime ports, as well as public venues including stadiums and historical landmarks.

SiLC is featuring Eyeonic Vista this week at XPONENTIAL 2026 in Detroit, Michigan, from May 12–14, at Booth #22013.
