Uncompromising ISR for unmanned systems

Give operators decision dominance with our end-to-end sensor platform — more coverage on less bandwidth.

A perception platform — not just a camera

The Fully Engineered Hardware + Software Solution to ISR’s Unnecessary Compromise

The Sapient answer to ISR’s persistent trade-offs — zoom versus awareness, bandwidth versus detail, and signature versus coverage — is engineering that captures the full operational area at detection resolution, processes everything onboard, and delivers only intelligence, down to the pixel level. Missions run faster, gather more intelligence, use less bandwidth, and stay quieter.

  • 01 · Capture
    ROOK sealed sensor with integrated optic
    108×up to, larger area per frame

    The full tactical field of view at 10K detection resolution — every frame, through ROOK & ECHO sensors and mission optics.

    Against a 720p zoom block at the same detection resolution.

    FORGE processing module
    <400 mscapture to georeferenced finding

    Every pixel processed onboard at full resolution, then georeferenced and handed straight to the radio or autopilot.

    Measured, shutter to Cursor-on-Target at the radio interface. Excludes downlink time.

    Instead of a whole video stream, only the pixels containing findings are transmitted, each geolocated — straight into command systems.

    Modeled at ~1.7 KB per finding against a ~6 Mbps continuous downlink.

The challenge

Zoom Sensors Force You to Choose What to Miss

Today’s narrow UAV sensors don’t lift the fog of war. Operators are forced to trade off: zoom in and lose awareness, or zoom out and lose detail.

ZOOM SENSOR · ONE WINDOW

MISSED 9 of 14 targets

SAPIENT 10K · THE WHOLE SCENE

MISSED 0 all 14 held

Same scene, same time. Sweeping systematically, the zoom window caught five of fourteen targets — the 10K sensor held all fourteen.
  • Zoom in and the scene is goneA decision made on one window is a decision made without what the window missed.
  • Blind spots breed uncertaintyA narrow view leaves gaps, and gaps have to be closed by flying back over them.
  • Operator attention decaysVigilance on live video drops long before the mission ends — exactly when things slip through.

Applications

When ISR Fails, Lives & Assets Are Lost

Wide-area perception earns its place when the object is small, the area is large, and nobody can say in advance where to point.

Frontline Reconnaissance

Holding the whole scene and the fine detail at the same time, so nothing outside the zoom window is missed.

Border & Maritime

Watching large areas of water and open boundary where the object of interest is small, moving, and not announcing itself.

“At stratospheric altitudes, every pixel matters and every byte of bandwidth is precious. ECHO solves the fundamental challenge of high-altitude ISR — capturing enough detail across a massive area without overwhelming data links to the ground.”

“This MoU gives us a clear framework to assess how Sapient Perception’s sensor technology could complement TEKEVER’s operationally proven uncrewed systems. Wide-area perception and onboard intelligence are increasingly important to the future of ISR.”
