Solving complex imaging problems with cutting-edge sensor technology.

Polaris Sensor Technologies delivers advanced optical sensing systems that reveal clarity in environments where conventional imaging falls short.

When visibility breaks down, so does decision-making.

Modern sensing and navigation systems struggle in the environments that matter most:
Critical information is there, but conventional systems can’t extract it.
Standard Thermal
Polarization (DOLP)

Polaris extracts what others miss.

Polaris systems combine polarization, infrared, visible imaging, and celestial cues to reveal structure, enhance contrast, and recover signal in low-information environments.
Instead of relying on a single modality, Polaris solutions are designed to:
The result: actionable insight where conventional sensing breaks down.

PYXIS LWIR HD

Reveal hidden detail in thermal scenes

Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) imaging is inherently a 24-hour solution, but there are scenarios where objects are too close to thermal equilibrium with their surroundings to be detected by standard thermal imagers, or they have similar thermal profiles to natural clutter. Polarization reveals structure in low-contrast thermal scenes and highlights man-made objects that would otherwise blend in, turning low-contrast or cluttered imagery into actionable insight in real time.

Key Capabilities
How It Works

Division of Focal Plane (DoFP) polarimetric filtering increases signal-to-clutter ratio, improving frame-by-frame interpretability in thermally uniform or visually complex LWIR scenes.

Polarization vs. Standard Thermal Imaging

Polarization increases situational awareness, revealing important details that cannot be detected with standard thermal imaging.

SKYPASS GEN4

Scalable Navigation Without GPS

SKYPASS GEN4 delivers next-generation GPS-independent navigation with a modular, scalable architecture. It fuses celestial and polarization-based cues to maintain reliable positioning in GPS-denied environments while improving manufacturability, reducing cost, and enabling flexible deployment across platforms.

Key Capabilities
How It Works

Fuses star-field imaging, solar/lunar tracking, and sky polarization for drift-free navigation across variable conditions.

Product Portfolio

PODS

Autonomously detects oil on water

Oil sheens blend into water and are often missed. PODS uses LWIR polarization to separate oil from water so spills become clearly detectable in real time, day and night.

PYXIS VIS

Information-rich imagery that expands detection and discrimination capability.

Pyxis Vis incorporates polarization into RGB technology in a way that increases image detail without overshadowing existing RGB imagery and allows the resulting imagery to use existing image processing libraries.

WASS

Wide-area hemispherical surveillance

WASS enables high-resolution, cost-effective hemispherical monitoring using a stop-and-stare scan architecture.

IRIS

Long-range day/night identification

In zero light or long range, identification breaks down. IRIS enhances imaging with a portable, highly stable, eye-safe IR illuminator to improve feature clarity and matching reliability.
