Meta Materials Inc. has developed VLEPSIS®, a revolutionary wide-area motion imagery (WAMI) technology. VLEPSIS is a turnkey multi-gigapixel EO WAMI system that integrates a gimballed sensor package with a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial system. It provides persistent, large-area, scene coverage at a resolution consistent with the ability to discern people. On-board software allows for 50+ simultaneous live video streams with AI-based multi-target tracking and ‘DVR’ capability. An integrated geographic information system is provided with the ground station for map-based user interactions and exploitation. An accompanying ground-based high-performance processing system provides full-scene machine learning for post-mission forensic analytics. An optional ultra high-resolution EO/IR video skyball is provided for cross-cued investigation of individual objects in the WAMI field of view.
