At Protostar Labs, we develop advanced vision systems powered by edge AI — built for real-time situational awareness in defense vehicles, unmanned platforms, and tactical systems.
Our technologies are designed to operate where connectivity is limited, latency is critical, and decisions need to happen fast — on the ground, in the air, or at the forward edge of the mission.
AI-powered perception. Built for the battlefield.
Modern defense operations demand faster intelligence, greater autonomy, and full-spectrum situational awareness — all without relying on remote infrastructure or cloud connectivity.
At Protostar Labs, we deliver smart sensing at the tactical edge, combining:
We partner with integrators, defense contractors, and OEMs to develop modular, mission-ready systems that scale — from rapid reconnaissance to long-duration surveillance in complex environments.
Our defense solutions fuse high-performance imaging, AI-based object detection, and onboard data processing into compact, ruggedized systems that support critical missions in dynamic environments.
Deploy AI models on embedded platforms and FPGAs — for real-time object detection, threat classification, and navigation support.
Go beyond visible light with near-infrared and thermal sensing — for 24/7 awareness in low-visibility or contested environments.
Modular systems for land vehicles, UAVs, and mobile platforms — enhancing detection, tracking, and understanding of the operational scene.
Vision systems and compute platforms tailored for integration into existing defense systems or custom unmanned platforms.
Real-time visual intelligence for navigation, convoy coordination, and perimeter monitoring.
Lightweight vision modules with onboard AI for autonomous navigation, reconnaissance, and target detection.
Smart camera systems for remote site monitoring, intrusion detection, and event classification.
Compact, wearable or deployable sensors for enhanced soldier awareness or field-based intelligence gathering.
Run advanced neural networks on embedded, low-power hardware with minimal latency — no dependency on the cloud.
We don’t just capture the scene — we understand it. Our systems turn raw data into intelligence that supports real-time decision-making.
With roots in space systems, our designs meet the highest standards of reliability, autonomy, and compact performance.
