Ihy

The Roark Ihy is the world’s most advanced intelligence gathering drone by virtue of it’s ability to capture spoken language from distances of up to 900M, including through walls and windows.

Featuring edge and relayed processing for instantaneous translation leading to either autonomous decision making within the Plexus kill chain or simply to advance intelligence gathering without the compromise of physical agents or open communication channels.

The Roark Ihy uses a mounted long range laser microphone combined with our HSI optical unit. Processing of NMT and ASR can occur on device or through relay back to our central servers with speech output visible in real-time.

The Roark Ihy uses hyper spectral imaging to identify the individuals speaking via hyper spectral tagging. Operators can overlay specific voice recognition inputs as recording triggers for HVT’s.

The Ihy can process multiple outputs simultaneously using ASR and HSI to link to a specific individual.

Secure Communications

In addition to ISR, the Ihy can provide a secure communication link for deep operators by providing overhead coverage to receive and relay critical information.

The Ihy has a loitering time of up to 20 hours, can operate autonomously of Rf spectrum and under it’s own guidance or alternatively be controlled by an operator. Ihy links directly in to Plexus providing real-time data to enable immediate OODA loop for onward decision making.

Roark HSI UAV

The Roark HSI UAV is our Hyper Spectral Imaging equipped UAV. Our VIS-NIR camera system enables deployers to see the whole image, capturing both spatial and spectral information in real-time at video frame rates.
