Passive Optical Radar Array

Detect and track unauthorised drones and Robotics and Autonomous Systems (C-RAS)

An advanced solution to an increasing threat

Drones offer significant benefit; however, they also present an increasing risk to global defence forces, assets, businesses, critical infrastructure, and the physical safety of citizens.

Effective counter drone measures have never been more important, from individual drones to swarm attacks. To address this urgent need, Visionary Machines delivers PORA, designed to provide advanced detection and tracking to counter increasingly sophisticated drone threats of today and tomorrow.

Defence + Aerospace

Critical Infrastructure + Public Safety ​

Greater range and accuracy enhancing safety

PORA provides richer information including range and accuracy than many existing sensor solutions

Accurate

  • Accurate trajectory data: real-time,  velocity, direction + location  

  • Highly accurate 3D optical sensing,  measured not inferred

Increase Safety

  • Early and trusted detection

  • Dominates the small drone critical perimeter protection 

Undetectable

  • Detect without detection with 100% passive operation 

  • Does not emit targetable signals

Multi-Spectral

  • Continuous multi-spectral sensing  —  day, night, all-weather

  • Simultaneous multi-domain tracking: air, land and sea

PORA detects and tracks multiple drones simultaneously across all three domains; air, land and sea, with continuous advanced multi-spectral  (RGB, NIR, SWIR, LWIR) sensing in all weather and lighting conditions.
