Kestrel Automated Detection Software being evaluated by Canadian Forces

The Canadian Forces are currently conducting an operational evaluation of Kestrel's automated target detection capabilities on board the CP-140 Aurora, Canada's primary Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft. This represents the first sale of Kestrel into Canada.

Kestrel is automated target detection software that processes in real time the aerial surveillance imagery from the CP-140 Aurora aircraft's electro-optical (EO) / infrared (IR) full motion video sensors. The software's unique ability to automatically detect and track small targets down to 2x2 pixels will have significant impact on the effectiveness of conducted ISR missions.
