Equinox Corporation, New York, New York, May 12th 2005:
Equinox awarded $425K Navy contract for watercraft surveillance
system using visible/thermal infrared fusion. This is a unique
sensor/algorithm system package that uses visible and thermal infrared
imaging modalities, individually or fused together, for real-time
detection, tracking and monitoring of watercraft. It will be capable
of operating on a floating buoy platform and eventually capable of
operating within a wide area network of sensors.
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.
