Equinox Corporation has been awarded a $750,000 Phase II SBIR contract from the DARPA IXO office. This award will allow for the development of automatic target recognition algorithms.

This award will allow a working prototype system to be developed based on the Phase I effort and experience. The system will use motion information to improve recognition performance.

Since 1999 Equinox has been a leading provider of unique image fusion products to the US Military spanning algorithms, electronics hardware and sensor optics. Equinox has produced groundbreaking technology for providing fusion of thermal infrared and visible modalities to the dismounted soldier as well as to Naval, Aerial and Biometric systems. In polarimetry Equinox has unsurpassed expertise in many types of imaging systems. Equinox is currently developing a number of automatic target detection, tracking and recognition systems.
