Teledyne FLIR OEM Introduces Prism Ground ISR for Tactical Reconnaissance and Military Target Classification

Teledyne FLIR OEM, a business unit of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY), has introduced Prism™ Ground ISR, a ready-to-deploy software stack for ground-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) applications. Building on the recently announced Prism C-UAS, designed to counter aerial drone threats, Prism Ground ISR brings advanced computational imaging technologies and AI-powered perception capabilities to ground-based platforms. This enables the rapid detection, classification, and tracking of a wide variety of targets, including the detailed classification of specific types of military vehicles.

Advanced Protection for Ground-Based Operations

As security situations become increasingly complex, the need for continuous situational awareness also grows. Whether it’s border surveillance, protecting first responders, or securing critical infrastructure—operators need solutions that detect threats earlier and with greater precision. Prism Ground ISR meets these requirements by combining patented image enhancement techniques with advanced AI models. The result is precise target detection with significantly fewer false alarms in challenging and complex operational environments.

“Just as Prism C-UAS has revolutionized the detection of small, fast-flying drones, Prism Ground ISR represents a significant advance in AI-powered target detection in ground-based applications,” explains Jared Faraudo, Vice President of Product Management at Teledyne FLIR OEM. “By integrating visible and infrared thermal data, along with detailed classification of military vehicles, we transform raw data into a decisive tactical advantage.”

AI-Powered Detection and Tracking

Prism Ground ISR combines AI-based object detection with computational imaging to increase detection range, improve target tracking continuity, and reduce false alarms. This enables users to respond faster and with greater confidence. The software utilizes turbulence compensation, defogging, and super-resolution to enhance

The software was trained using real and synthetic electro-optical and infrared datasets from Teledyne FLIR OEM. As a result, it supports the detailed classification of military vehicles and improves target detection in complex environments. Prism Ground ISR supports up to 15 object classes by default. With Prism AIMMGen™, additional target classes can be quickly added based on synthetic data as mission requirements evolve.

Optimierte Integration für skalierbare Implementierungen

Prism Ground ISR wurde für eine schnelle Integration entwickelt und läuft auf NVIDIA® Orin NX- und AGXPlattformen. Die Software unterstützt die Kamerafamilien Boson®+ und Neutrino® von Teledyne FLIR OEM, einschließlich Modellen mit kontinuierlichem Zoom. Darüber hinaus ist sie mit ausgewählten Infrarot- und elektrooptischen Sensoren anderer Hersteller kompatibel und ermöglicht so umfassende Multisensorlösungen. Das Prism Ground ISR SDK reduziert zusätzlich Integrationsrisiken und unterstützt Entwicklungsteams dabei, neue Funktionen schneller bereitzustellen. Dank globaler Produktionskapazitäten und eines erfahrenen technischen Support-Teams kann Prism Ground ISR in einer Vielzahl taktischer Bodenplattformen eingesetzt werden.
