Edge-based visual autonomy software to fully automate the cameras that protect us

About us

Vizgard is a multi-award-winning SME building a safer future by automating real-time Security and Defence optical systems that traditionally require repetitive or prolonged monitoring. Optimised for ultimate performance on the edge, Vizgard's autonomy-enabling AI engine, FortifAI, provides long-range visual intelligence, external sensor fusion and low-latency platform control for reducing false alarms and operator burden. For increased situational awareness, several state-of-art computer vision capabilities are combined into this easily integrated, platform-agnostic software application for perimeter and counter-UAS security systems, or onboard unmanned surface or aerial vehicles. FortifAI's growing list of enhancements includes: -Detection and tracking of people, faces, cars, boats, drones, birds, planes and helicopters -Single object tracking and reacquisition of small and agile targets with PTZ camera control -Human behavioural prediction with an individually allocated Risk Index -Counter-UAS detect/track/classify capability from ground or air platforms -Real-time face redaction -Full-frame image stabilisation -Human-aware precision drone landing in GPS-denied environments

    #DisruptiveTech 🔵 I came across this informative piece, on ISR sensors for surface maritime applications, by New Zealand-based analyst and writer, the inimitable Tim Fish. I would add to his list featuring HENSOLDT and FLIR Systems some more players including Arkeus, Overwatch Imaging, Shield AI (Sentient) and Vizgard. Electro-optic and infra-red (EO/IR) imaging systems are an essential part of any surveillance system designed to monitor the littoral regions of the world. EO/IR equipment forms one part of the wider intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities in coastal areas and islands that includes radar, satellite imaging and other sensing devices. EO/IR sensors are important as they detect reflected light radiated in the electromagnetic spectrum, including bands beyond the visible spectrum, producing high-resolution images in real-time. Compared to radar and satellite imagery, EO/IR systems are shorter in range but provide a much more detailed image of an object. This can give the level of detail necessary to support decision-making and provide enough data for precise target identification and classification. Furthermore, EO/IR is passive when detecting radiation giving a stealthy option for surveillance. Meanwhile, whilst radar offers longer-range detection it is often active, emitting a radio frequency signal and detecting the returns. This means radar signals can be detected by the target. Other sensors such as optical imaging satellite cannot see through clouds which means they are limited in bad weather. #EO #IR #ISR #littoral #opticalsurveillance #navy Asian Military Review, Campaign Catapult, Pravo Consulting

    Vizgard are proud to introduce VGroundControl, our AI-enhanced multi-UxV and PTZ control software that builds upon the popular QGroundControl drone software. Specifically tailored for Defence and Security applications, VGroundControl allows a single operator to control and monitor multiple AI-powered UxVs or ground-based Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras from both mobile and desktop interfaces. How can VGroundControl help? ▪ Unified Command: VGroundControl enables operators to manage multiple drones simultaneously, enhancing coordination and efficiency during missions. ▪ Customisable Mission Planning: Create detailed mission profiles with features like automatic flight path generation, real-time weather updates, and customisable no-fly zones, ensuring safe and effective operations. ▪ Advanced Monitoring Capabilities: Enjoy multiple screen layouts, including three video streams and one map. Operators can view the drone's field of view directly on the map and receive dynamic automatic target recognition with filtering. ▪ Comprehensive Control Features: VGroundControl includes support for controlling Parrot Anafi USA drones, automated NextVision gimbal steering, and PTZ camera control (ONVIF, Pelco-D) with smart tours and auto-tracking capabilities. ▪ Real-time Data Analysis: Optical detections are plotted on a map with GIF thumbnails, allowing for quick and easy assessments of the operational environment. ▪ Scalable Solutions: Whether you manage a small fleet or large deployments, VGroundControl is designed to grow with your needs, offering a future-proof control solution. Already using QGroundControl and want to upgrade your capabilities? Contact us today to access VGroundControl and elevate your unmanned, counter-unmanned, or long-range surveillance systems with our “AI-ready” solution. At Vizgard, we believe that enhancing ground control operations is key to achieving successful missions. By leveraging the advanced features of VGroundControl, organisations can stay ahead in the rapidly evolving UAS landscape.

    VIZGARD is preparing for another busy few weeks! We’re excited to showcase how VIZGARD’s cutting-edge AI technology is transforming defence and security at these key upcoming events: CORE– After three successful C-UAS Capability Optimisation Research Environment (CORE) events, the UK’s National Protective Security Authority (NPSA) is seeking AI-assisted detect, track, and identify technologies. VIZGARD is at the forefront of this effort, and we’re eager to demonstrate this week our advanced counter-UAS capabilities. Future Forces – At this leading-edge event themed around "SENSE, DECIDE, AND EFFECT," VIZGARD will showcase how our AI-powered solutions are helping defence forces make faster, smarter decisions in critical moments. D3IP's Induction & Connected Vehicles Event at the BattleLab – Join us at Dorset Innovation Park on Wednesday, 16th October 2024 for a deep dive into how VIZGARD’s AI innovations can enhance Law Enforcement, National Security, and Defence through connected vehicle technology. This event will bring together industry experts, public sector leaders, and policymakers to explore how connected vehicles can improve public safety and operational effectiveness. VIZGARD’s solutions are set to play a pivotal role in this evolving space. We’re looking forward to connecting with partners, discussing new opportunities, and showcasing how our AI solutions are driving real impact across defence and security. See you there! #DefenceTech #CUAS #Innovation #ConnectedVehicles #BattleLab #FutureForces #D3IPConnectedVehicles #VIZGARD #AI #ComputerVision

    I had the privilege of being selected to attend and speak about Vizgard at the Resilience Conference last week—check out the picture below of me looking like a deer in headlights, as per usual! The entire event, including the side events such as dinner aboard HMS Belfast, was exceptionally well organised. The calibre of the speakers, with their frank and insightful contributions, made this one of the most impactful and thought-provoking conferences I’ve attended. During the event, I was interviewed by Forbes to discuss the shifts in investor interest in Defence, comparing my experience raising funding for Vizgard in early 2022 to now in 2024.
