Visionary Machines is an Australian software and sensing company with a proven counter-drone capability
Pioneering the passive detection of evolving drone threats in one of the world’s fastest-growing defence markets.
Across air, land and sea, Visionary Machines delivers the real-time 3D spatial sensing foundation for autonomous systems and advanced decision-making. As drones evolve from easily detected, pilot-operated systems to autonomous ‘dark drones’, governments, defence forces and critical infrastructure operators face a critical capability gap that traditional radar and RF-based systems are increasingly challenged to close.
Our Capabilities
One platform. Pandion™ passive optical sensing underpins every Visionary Machines system. Counter-drone is where it is deployed today. The same technology extends to intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and to autonomy.
High performance 3D passive optical drone detection, tracking, classification and targeting, across air, land and sea, designed for defence, public safety and critical infrastructure protection
Perception sensing for autonomy that doesn’t need roads. Perception provides assured navigation in dynamic off-road environments.
Enhanced Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance capability for defence mission planning and operational success.
Industries
Visionary Machines’ passive optical sensing is advancing capability across defence, public safety and critical infrastructure. Our purpose-built systems, powered by Pandion™, detect what other sensors cannot.
