Use Case

Counter-UAS AI: Find faster, track longer, maintain custody

SEE IT IN ACTION

Persistent perception for the C-UAS mission

See Latent AI detect, track, and reacquire small UAS targets on embedded hardware in real-world conditions.

use case

The perception layer inside your C-UAS stack.

Small UAS can move fast, appear at low pixel counts, and disappear into clutter. Latent AI adds vision-based detection and tracking to the C-UAS systems already in the field. Run perception across EO/IR sensors on embedded hardware, maintain track through motion and occlusion, and cue existing systems without replacing the sensors, compute, or platforms you already operate.

WHAT IT ENABLES

One operator, multiple threats

Maintain independent tracks, IDs, and histories across multiple UAS in the same scene, giving operators persistent target information without manually reacquiring each threat. 

Full capability without the network

Inference runs onboard, so detection and tracking continue through denied, degraded, and disconnected conditions without cloud connectivity or a continuous datalink.

Respond as the threat changes

Cue known or unknown targets from a single observation, detector output, or sensor handoff. Latent AI supports rapid model updates at the edge as mission requirements and target signatures evolve.

THE C-UAS CHALLENGE

Persistent perception for a changing threat environment

the problem

C-UAS perception has to keep up with the threat

Small UAS can fly fast, appear at low pixel counts, and disappear behind terrain, structures, foliage, and other clutter. Static detection models can struggle with threats they were not trained to recognize, while conventional trackers can lose custody when a target changes appearance or leaves the frame.

When the track drops, the operator has to find the target again.

the solution

Persistent perception, built for the edge

Latent AI adds a perception layer between your sensors and C2. It detects and tracks small UAS across EO/IR video, maintains target custody through motion and occlusion, and provides structured tracks to the systems already responsible for command and effect.

Foundation-model-based perception is optimized for constrained tactical hardware, bringing advanced perception to the edge without requiring cloud connectivity or a larger compute payload.
