The Vios enclosure is Sitep ulitmate electro-optical unit enabling target detection and tracking functionality. It includes the following optical payloads:

• 1 HD Camera
• 1 Thermal Camera
• 1 Laser Range Finder
• 1 Laser Dazzler

The HD and IR camera are part of the Sitep Proprietary Vios Platform® and so far interfaced with a Vios Core® board while the Laser Dazzler and the LRF are separately handled by a dedicated CPU. The Vios® (visible & infrared optical system) is a vertical hardware-software architecture for the handling and processing of multiple video sources developed by Sitep Italia as the natural evolution of the existing electro-optic systems for the legacy branch products. Vios® is based on Sitep’s proprietary technology GPU (Graphical Processing Unit) aiming at minimizing obsolescence issues and augmenting computing power to let the integrated neural network monitoring and stabilization algorithm performances at the best obtainable:

• Overall control of the visible and thermal protocols
• Tri-axial stabilization ( mechanical/software stabilization combination)
• Up to 4K resolution video
• Different type of thermal sensors for custom integration
• Physical dimension minimization for ease of integration
• Sitep Italia proprietary know how The Vios Core is an embedded developed software based on the Linux O.S. for the bridging of the camera sensors with the control console allowing:
• Real time hardware video coding/decoding
• State of the Art technology based objects tracking system (generally couped with product dedicated mechanical axis)
• Multiple video feed managing capability
• High performances allowed by a dedicated Neural Network The viOS® CORE is the product of years of research leading to exploit field tested middleware and libraries as the product of years of research on technologies based
• on artificial intelligence applied to image processing.
