FortifAI
Cutting-edge visual autonomy software
FortifAI is cutting-edge visual autonomy software that 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.
