Latest Surveillance Gimbal Released by UAVOS​

UAVOS has unveiled the new GSG 201, a two-axis rate AI gimbal with a 30x optical zoom visible camera and laser rangefinder, developed for day and night surveillance missionsBy Sarah Simpson / 10 Aug 2023

UAVOS has launched the GSG 201 an Artificial Intelligence (AI) drone gimbal, that combines UAVOS new proprietary software with AI and core imaging technology.

The GSG 201 will be able to conduct wide-area search, surveillance, and identification specific to autonomous surveillance missions. The GSG 201 is an EO/IR configuration with a 30x optical zoom visible camera and laser rangefinder.

“By delivering automated object detection, identification, and tracking capabilities in a single payload, the GSG 201 reduces a customer’s payload cost, payload weight and need for a complex aircraft. In addition, the GSG 201s fully integrated AI system dramatically increases efficiency and accuracy for customers – ultimately improving mission success”, comments Aliaksei Stratsilatau, Co-Founder and CEO of UAVOS.


True to UAVOS’ product line, the GSG 201 is designed with low weight, superior imaging, and best-in-class geolocation capability. Gimbal features include embedded video processing with electronic stabilization and object tracking, integration with external GPS/INS with real-time target location at multiple ranges across a variety of environments, and day/night operations through visible and thermal cameras.
The GSG 201 contains a primary Full HD, Global Shutter camera with 30x optical zoom lens with optical video stabilization, a 1024×768 uncooled Thermal camera, and Laser rangefinder.

UAVOS’ software offers an advanced multi-object acquisition engine for mission-critical airborne applications at all wavelengths. Combining these modern processing capabilities with high-end raw video at the edge provides a valuable asset to operators, by reducing the clutter of information at the ground station, and enhancing the ability to deliver critical capabilities in communications denied environments.
“This hardware and software upgrade will dramatically enhance the accuracy and efficiency of UAS missions,” said Aliaksei Stratsilatau. “Our advanced software delivers improved geolocation target accuracy, greater capacity to extract valuable insights from video imagery, and allows for data processing to occur onboard UAS. This means operators will receive only important data in a much higher-quality format for assessment.”

Good Afternoon Bravo ,

Love your work.

Looks like the ARM listing is gathering a little pace, and for good reason.

A few loose numbers..

If / when the above eight companies take a little slice of ARM , I would think ARM would have a market valuation around USD$70,000,000,000.00 to USD$85,000,000,000.01

One would imagine each of the above mentioned companies would pop atleast USD$5,000,000,000.00 each to gain some influence in ARM, shority of supply & influence.
That's the first $40 Billion sorted then add another $35 to $40 Billion from instos to retail.

Looking Good.

Regards,
Esq.
Maybe wait for SiFive IPO?

Bravo

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
"Once a customer, always a customer"

Warm welcome, listen carefully, steer in the desired direction, highlight the positive benefits, always think of the big picture,
not the immediate sales closure, Brainchip plays in a space that requires, extreme patience, never coming across as arrogant,
overconfident or too pushy, we have the product/s (technology) and we know it, it's a bit of a chess game in the early stages.

We have the team in place now to really move forward in the commercial sense, I know it, you all know.

Hoping to hear from Antonio this week, lets see.

Afternoon Tothemoon24 ,

Optical equipment is amazing & something which I have yet to indulge in.
Seriously expensive & or simply not available to the general public, restricted to gov / millitary organisations .... for good reason.

Many moons ago I had the pleasure of entertaining the STAR FORCE , these chaps are super fit & SWITCHED ON, on our family property engaged with doing surveillance on the surveillance company engaged by the owners / insurance companies over high value asset's.

Needless to say, thay possessed some truely amazing optics at that time.

Scopes on their sniper rifles were 3rd Gen night vision equipped, not just day scopes.
Super amazing.

Thay stayed with us for two weeks and in that time their equivalent of James Bonds... Q. ... graced our presence.

This chap had some amazing optical gadgets.

1, doing surveillance on the surveillance over two kilometres away , pitch black at night, could see everything plain as day.

& 2, thay had this screw on lense which once attached , one could read number plates on cars at a distance of over 7 Kilometres.

So a word of warning to all, big brother can quite easily watch you from affar.

Needless to say all these chaps were very switch on & it gives great comfort to those that have no idea what's going on , that these individuals have our back.

God only knows what gadgets thay possess today.

Regards,
Esq.

The AI Meme theme is officially rolling over now, so now will be the real test as to which companies come out of the dust. Time to shine BRN. The market has worked out that a lot of the AI noise is chaff. You’re turn to jump into the seat at the big boys and girls table.
I see we are pursuing the now or never theme again.
When and for whom was Brainchip a meme stock?

The Department of the Air Force reviewed the Microelectronics Quantifiable Assurance efforts by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, as directed by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2023. The results of the review were just released on August 3.

This review involved an independent panel of 27 experts determining the best approach to mitigate risks in the commercial microelectronics supply chain and to ensure the security and integrity of microelectronic components used in Department of Defense (DoD) systems.

View attachment 41913


No relevance to our AKIDA.

The word AKIDA, in Brainchip AKIDA comes from the Greek word meaning spike (ie as in SNN - "Spiking" Neural Network).

In conrtext, to African and/or islamic cultures, there is also a word called Akida, however it has a meaning of certain, firm, etc.

Therefore, there is no link between the 2.


For those interested, Akida is also an African name, such as in Esse Akida. She is a Kenyan soccer player who plays in onr of the major leagues in Europe.

If only one of the tech experts here on TSE could be a fly on the wall and find out whether the WSU researchers are experimenting with Akida in some of their numerous neuromorphic projects these days… 🤔
My gut feeling is, they are.

True, Brainchip is not listed as official partner on their website.
Besides a number of Australian and US government agencies, “ICNS collaborates closely with industry leaders like Intel, Thales, BAE, Raytheon, and Biological Monitoring Services (BMS), as well as with start-up companies such as Neurobuild and Nuvotech, to integrate neuromorphic engineering into practical applications.”

(🤔 Neurobuild? I only found a reference to a 2015 trademark by an Indian pharmaceutical company… Nuvotech? Possibly a typo here? I found a Sydney-based biotech contract research organization (CRO) called Novotech that could fit the bill: https://novotech-cro.com/faq/future...zation-real-world-evidence-and-ai-integration)

While this list is obviously not exhaustive (“industry leaders like…”), there is also the possibility that some ICNS researchers could be working with Akida indirectly, through Prophesee. While Prophesee is not specifically mentioned under industry partners above, their logo is on the WSU website under “Partners”. Gregory Cohen and his team at WSU have been using Prophesee technology since at least 2021 for their Astrosite project (in collaboration with the Australian Department of Defence), a mobile observatory built in a in a standard 20 foot shipping container to detect and track both working satellites and space junk in orbit around the Earth.





My speculation is the WSU’s ICNR researchers may also be using Prophesee technology for the AFRL’s upcoming ODIN (Optical Defense and Intelligence through Neuromorphics) project, Falcon Neuro’s follow-up experiment, and this is IMO where Akida could come in. Remember Peter van der Made’s LinkedIn comment after the successful launch of Falcon Neuro?


3EF4BD31-FAC8-47B9-A6D2-96070183874C.jpeg



“Falcon Neuro has proven so successful that a follow-on experiment called Falcon ODIN (Optical Defense and Intelligence through Neuromorpics) is planned. Falcon ODIN will contain greatly improved optics provided by AFRL’s Space Vehicles Directorate and a new, more sensitive focal plane array.
Falcon ODIN is under construction in SPARC, and testing will start on the flight unit in the fall of 2023. Falcon ODIN will be delivered to the DoD Space Test Program in late 2023 and fly to the ISS to continue research in neuromorphic technology in 2025.”


Just a reminder of Falcon Neuro’s initial goal from an article dated April 2, 2020 by Lincoln Parker:

The initial goal of the project is to look for a class of high altitude phenomena or Transient Luminous Events, also known as upside-down lightening, or Sprites. This is lightening that instead of firing down to the ground, travels upwards to the upper atmosphere. Sprites are almost impossible to detect and could be very damaging to satellites, missiles, aircraft, communications or anything traveling via the upper atmosphere including SpaceX or other spacecraft.

Conventional camera technology was not designed to capture very bright, rare and fast moving events. But WSU’s neuromorphic cameras operate more like a photoreceptor in the eye than a conventional camera. All the pixels in these cameras work like single individual cameras that don’t interact or depend on one another.

To put it simply, they’re all looking for changes around whatever set point they see, and as a result there are no frames like a normal camera and you don’t have to worry about exposure times because the pixels just send you the changes when they are detected.

To capture an event that is moving incredibly fast (for example a Sprite or hypersonic missile) a conventional camera would need to capture many large pictures extremely regularly resulting in terabytes of data that then need analysing. A process that is both slow and power hungry.

But with Falcon Neuro, Sprites have nowhere to hide.

“With these cameras we’ll be able to get more insight into when they happen, how often they happen, where around the globe they happen and then if we do catch them, we should also be able to see how they form and what they’re actually doing,” A/Prof Cohen said.

In a crucial development for detecting hypersonic missiles, A/Prof Cohen was adamant.

“I think neuromorphic sensors for hypersonics are the perfect sensor,” he said. “So whether they’re on the ground looking up or somewhere in orbit looking down, it’s absolutely designed for it, and that’s even before you start going into the infrared spectrum
.”


(…) In the future A/Prof Cohen sees no technical reason why Falcon Neuro 2.0 cannot also observe the Earth, through clouds to track ships, aircraft, missile launches and explosions, and possibly submarines.

“We can already see through bushes,” A/Prof Cohen said. “The moving surface of the sea, for example, is yet another surface that we may be able to use these algorithms to see through.”

Current resolution will not allow these capabilities, but given the amount of time it took Prof Cohen to field Falcon Neuro 1.0, he may achieve the above game-changing capabilities sooner than we think.”




I am a little surprised WSU’s ICNS doesn’t list iniVation as their partner, as they’ve modified various event-based DVS cameras for both the Astrosite mobile observatory (which uses a DVSxplore event-based camera alongside a Prophesee Gen 4 Metavision) and for the US Air Force’s Falcon Neuro project that uses two DVS 240C modified by INCS for use in space.

However, they list the University of Zurich as partner, which is where one of the two DVS event camera inventors and founder of iniLabs, Tobi Delbrück, co-leads the Institute for Neuroinformatics (INI)’s Sensors Group, a joint institute of the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich. Just like SynSense, IniVation is an iniLabs spin-off company.

A very interesting researcher in the Falcon Neuro project is Brian J. McReynolds, whose PhD supervisor at the INI Sensors Group is Tobi Delbrück.

He is a graduate of University of Virginia, that recently joined the Brainchip University AI Accelerator Program. 🤔
(At first I thought we had another match there with Oklahoma, but his alma mater is Oklahoma State University, whereas Brainchip has teamed up with another university, the University of Oklahoma).
