Teledyne FLIR OEM has expanded its Prism software portfolio with the launch of Prism™A-ISR, an embedded software module designed to provide AI-enabled air-to-ground object detection and tracking for Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) and other airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms.
The software detects, classifies, and tracks ground objects in real time using passive midwave infrared (MWIR), longwave infrared (LWIR), and visible Electro-Optical (EO) sensor data.
Patented denoise and super-resolution processing capabilities improve signal-to-noise performance while reducing bit rate and bandwidth requirements, enabling faster system response. Electronic stabilization and dehaze algorithms further enhance image quality and detection range.
Jared Faraudo, Vice President of Product Management, Teledyne FLIR OEM, commented, “By combining our patented image processing, AI perception models, and edge-processing expertise, Prism A-ISR improves long-range situational awareness in cluttered and degraded visual environments while reducing false alarms and integration risk. The software supports multi-target detection and tracking for mission applications requiring persistent surveillance, force protection, defense autonomy, and actionable mission intelligence.”
To accommodate evolving operational requirements and custom target classes, updated mission models can be generated in days rather than weeks using Teledyne FLIR’s AIMMGen™ synthetic model-training service.
Prism A-ISR is optimized for NVIDIA® and Qualcomm® embedded AI platforms used in defense applications, supporting rapid integration by OEMs and scalable deployment. It is compatible with a range of Teledyne FLIR camera modules, including the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)-compliant Boson®+ and Neutrino® thermal camera families, as well as select third-party infrared and EO cameras.
The software joins Prism C-UAS, Prism Ground ISR, and Prism SKR within Teledyne FLIR’s Prism portfolio, which provides perception software for defense integrators developing UAS, ground ISR systems, and Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) applications.
Prism A-ISR expands the portfolio’s capabilities for airborne ISR applications, with production-ready perception models, developer resources, and integration support intended to reduce integration risk and accelerate development.
Teledyne FLIR will demonstrate Prism™A-ISR at Booth #6013 during AUSA 2026 in Washington, D.C., October 12–14.
