OKSI Awarded U.S. Military Contract on their third Era FLIR Software program Expertise for Enhanced Thermal Evening Imaginative and prescient Sensors

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13, 2024 — OKSI has been awarded a $2 million follow-on contract from the U.S. Military to proceed creating their scene-based Variable Aperture Mechanism for Non-Uniformity Correction (VAM-NUC) system for integration to the third Era Ahead Trying Infrared (3GEN FLIR) program. 3GEN FLIR is a complicated concentrating on sensor system produced by Raytheon Applied sciences to boost lethality, survivability and situational consciousness below the cloak of darkness. The system offers overmatch for the Military’s floor fight platforms with notable functions just like the M1 Abrams Tank and the MQ-1C Grey Eagle UAS.

It could actually penetrate harsh environmental circumstances like darkness, smoke, rain, snow and fog. Extra efficiency enhancements embrace enhancements in bad-pixel-clusters, darkish present, noise, quantum effectivity, operability, spectral crosstalk, modulation switch perform and Non-Uniformity Correction (NUC) stability, which OKSI goals to additional improve.

One of many main points the Military faces is the numerous acquire and offset drift of the sensor. OKSI has developed a novel scene-based NUC answer that runs within the background and in real-time, minimizing impression on situational consciousness. By leveraging {hardware} capabilities of the 3GEN FLIR, the software program mechanically performs acquire and offset corrections which are invisible to the operator, versus conventional, flag-based strategies. OKSI’s novel know-how leverages a mixture of the VAM current in 3GEN FLIR methods, and methods developed by the Military to make use of the VAM, together with proprietary state-of-the-art scene-based acquire/offset correction algorithms.

“OKSI has a proud legacy of advancing imaging applied sciences, that features pioneering our Variable Aperture Mechanism (VAM), that has been instrumental in enhancing third-generation FLIR methods,” says Chris HolmesParker, CEO, OKSI. “As we speak, we’re thrilled to construct on this basis by delivering cutting-edge capabilities that elevate picture readability and situational consciousness, empowering our warfighters with the instruments they should function successfully and decisively on the battlefield.”
