ThirdEye Systems Ltd will present its passive drone detection platform, Meduza, for the first time at EUROSATORY 2018.
Based on on-the-fly, real-time thermal computer vision algorithms, Meduza can be installed as a stand-alone unit or as a complementary system to long-range detection systems. Unlike radar, it can detect drones low on the horizon, even against a complex background, according to the company. The man-portable platform is already integrated with hard-kill systems, so it can shoot down any drone it detects.
“Meduza offers high scanning abilities over vast areas and can detect objects over different types of terrain, including urban areas and more,” says Lior Segal, CEO of ThirdEye Systems. “Robust and portable, it is an efficient and cost-effective solution.”
At EUROSATORY, ThirdEye Systems will also be presenting aEye, a fully autonomous, on-the-fly, AI-based, neural-network thermal analytics and classification system, with day and night capabilities. aEye’s on-board analytics enable threat detection while the drone is in flight. The management software of this cost-effective system facilitates enhanced situational awareness, while reducing operators’ cognitive stress levels. aEye can be installed on any 3rd party drone, from DJI M200 to high-duration drone platforms and MIL-STD drones, and is already operational on an advanced long-range VTOL platform.
“aEye can identify people and objects while in motion, transmitting the information direct to the control room,” says Lior.
