The Cortex AI edge compute platform is designed to perform data exploitation at the edge, enabling near real-time analysis of one or more video feeds using multiple AI algorithms. Powered by NVIDIA hardware and Sightline’s proprietary neural network architecture, the system runs advanced vision inference workloads while operating directly at the sensor level or as a node within a larger C4I network. Supporting EO, IR, and thermal sensors, Cortex provides onboard processing capabilities that reduce reliance on remote computing resources while delivering actionable intelligence from video streams in demanding operational environments.
Suitable for airborne, ground, and maritime deployments, Cortex combines AI-enabled video analytics with ruggedized hardware for integration into fixed, mobile, and autonomous platforms. The system supports video resolutions up to 4K at 60 fps, H.264 and H.265 hardware encoding and decoding, and Ethernet, USB, and Wi-Fi connectivity. With an IP67-rated enclosure and environmental design considerations aligned with MIL-STD-810G vibration and thermal requirements, Cortex provides a compact solution for maritime surveillance, vessel monitoring, ISR operations, perimeter security, and other applications requiring advanced edge-based video processing and analytics.
