Sensor Fusion
Three Sensing Modalities. One Decision Layer.
Each sensor feeds a common tracking and classification pipeline. Contacts are correlated
across modalities before any classification is issued, dramatically reducing false positives
compared to single-sensor systems.
EO / IR Optical
High-resolution day camera with cooled thermal channel. Optical recognition of
vehicle class, personnel posture, and carried equipment at extended range.
RF Sensor
Wideband receiver detects and fingerprints radio emissions — handhelds, vehicle
comms, drone control links — and interrogates coded friendly IFF beacons.
Solid-State Radar
All-weather detection and velocity tracking of moving contacts across the full
310° arc, including low-observable approaches and small maritime craft.
SV-IFF AI Engine
On-board GPU inference fuses all three channels into a single tracked contact
with class (vehicle / personnel) and disposition (friend / foe / unknown).
● FRIEND — Verified IFF / visual match, engagement inhibited
● FOE — Hostile classification, engagement authorized per ROE
● UNKNOWN — Track, alert operator, hold fire
Engagement Doctrine — Alpha Phase
During all alpha testing, the SV-1 operates in supervised mode: the system detects, tracks,
and classifies autonomously, but weapon release requires positive authorization from a
certified remote operator. Fully autonomous engagement modes remain gated behind ongoing
safety validation and applicable rules-of-engagement and legal review.
