Teleidoscope has secured a potential $100 million contract from the Department of Defense to proceed with the production of a prototype visual recognition and identification system.
The artificial intelligence-based camera previously received funding from the Accelerate the Procurement and Fielding of Innovative Technologies program earlier this year, the Defense Innovation Unit said Thursday.
DIU chose the California-based visual tracking software company to develop next-generation technology for identifying, tracking and defending airspace controlled by the National Capital Region-Integrated Air Defense System.

In an interview with Defense One, Teleidoscope founder Matt Rabinovitch noted the U.S. Army is looking into the potential of the NCR-IADS to detect smaller unmanned aircraft.
