Company Summary

Our customers that make mobile imaging systems (drones/satellites/sights) need to eliminate image distortion occurring when light passes through changing air temperatures.

We've demonstrated that our camera solves their problems as a stand alone technology.

We have customers in the drone, satellite and sights markets ready to trial prototypes integrated into their products. We are seeking up to $500k to build/demonstrate these prototypes.
