Teledyne FLIR OEM, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, announced Prism™ SKR, the newest addition to the Prism embedded software ecosystem.
Prism SKR, pronounced “seeker,” sets a new standard in precision automatic target recognition (ATR) for autonomously guided weapon systems, including loitering munitions, air-launched effects (ALE), counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS), low-cost missiles, and smart munitions.
Prism SKR's advanced algorithms
Prism SKR operates seamlessly at the edge on low-power embedded processors
Prism SKR operates seamlessly at the edge on low-power embedded processors. Compatible with both infrared (IR) thermal and visible camera data, Prism SKR's advanced algorithms provide real-time target position, identification, direction of motion, and aim-point localisation.
The target information is used to guide the platform's autonomous flight system for air-to-ground (A2G), ground-to-air, air-to-air, and ground-to-ground operations.
Prism embedded software ecosystem
“Compatible with existing autonomy and navigation software via a Weapon Open System Architecture (WOSA) compliant interface, Prism SKR represents a significant leap forward in autonomous precision target detection, identification, and tracking technology for defence OEM developers and integrators,” said Dan Walker, vice president of product management, Teledyne FLIR OEM.
“Additionally, developers can reduce development risk and costs with plug-and-play integration with the Prism embedded software ecosystem and Teledyne FLIR IR camera modules.”
Prism AIMMGen synthetic dataset
Custom target lists can quickly be incorporated using the Prism AIMMGen synthetic dataset
The Prism software ecosystem streamlines development and shortens time to market with out-of-the-box compatibility. Starting with the Prism AI embedded software, developers and integrators can utilise detection and tracking models leveraging Teledyne FLIR OEM's six million visible and thermal annotations.
Custom target lists can quickly be incorporated using the Prism AIMMGen synthetic dataset and model training toolchain. Finally, Prism Supervisor empowers autonomous mission control and platform guidance with Prism SKR, where ATR is required.
Ultimate solution for OEMs
With its advanced features, robust ecosystem, and a complete application programming interface (API) and software development kit (SDK) for customisation and performance optimisation, Prism SKR is the ultimate solution for OEMs seeking to enhance the precision and reliability of autonomous weapon systems.
Teledyne FLIR OEM will show Prism at SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing in Orlando, Florida, April 13-17, 2025.
