System Features
Using the ViDAR modular payload, Insitu UAS can search an approximately 13,360 NM area in 12 hours.
Quick, Actionable Intelligence
Distinguishes between water and objects, making it easier for the operator to rapidly locate, track, and catalog multiple objects of interest for map location overlays, tracking and target interrogation.
Increase Performance
Identified targets are autonomously ranked to increase human operator performance. Paired with unlimited multi-target tracking and geo-location, and cross-correlation with AIS.
Enhanced Idenfitifcation
Pairing automated target detection with high-resolution identification empowers operators to find objects of interest that other search methods often miss, such as low-profile vessels. Proven to detect 98% of targets ranging from a person in the water to large ships.
Scan and Catalog
Catalog targets for map location overlays, tracking, and target interrogation.
