Teledyne FLIR OEM announced Prism™ Ground ISR, a mission-ready software stack for ground-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). Building on the recently announced Prism C-UAS for aerial drone threats, Prism Ground ISR brings advanced computational imaging and AI-driven perception to ground platforms, enabling rapid detection, classification and tracking of diverse targets including specific military vehicle classes.
Advancing Ground-Based Protection
As security environments grow more complex, the need for persistent situational awareness is growing. From border surveillance to force protection and the defense of critical infrastructure, operators need tools that identify threats earlier and with greater precision. Prism Ground ISR addresses these challenges by combining patented image enhancement with advanced AI models to deliver accurate target recognition with fewer false positives in cluttered environments.
“Just as Prism C-UAS transformed how we detect small, fast-moving drones, Prism Ground ISR marks a significant advancement in ground-based AI target recognition,” said Jared Faraudo, Vice President of Product Management at Teledyne FLIR OEM. “By integrating visible and infrared thermal data, including fine-grained military vehicle classification, we are turning raw data into a decisive tactical advantage.”

AI-Powered Detection and Tracking
Prism Ground ISR combines AI-powered detection with computational imaging to extend detection range, improve track persistence, and reduce false alarms, helping operators respond earlier and with greater confidence. The software uses turbulence mitigation, dehazing, and super-resolution to enhance infrared visibility, while separate acquisition and tracking pipelines support earlier detection and more accurate tracking of small, fast, or maneuvering targets.
Trained on Teledyne FLIR OEM’s real and synthetic electro-optical and infrared data, the software supports fine-grained military vehicle classification and improved target recognition in cluttered environments. Prism Ground ISR supports up to 15 object classes out of the box, while Prism AIMMGen™ enables rapid expansion to additional target classes using synthetic data as mission requirements evolve.
Streamlined Integration for Scalable Deployment
Designed for rapid integration, Prism Ground ISR runs on NVIDIA® Orin NX and AGX and supports Teledyne FLIR OEM’s Boson®+ and Neutrino® camera families, including continuous zoom models. The software is also compatible with select third-party infrared and electro-optical sensors, enabling comprehensive multi-sensor solutions. The Prism Ground ISR SDK further reduces integration risk and helps teams field new capabilities faster. Backed by global-scale production and an experienced technical services team, Prism Ground ISR can be deployed across a wide range of tactical ground architectures.
