The X26-v4 is a low-SWaP novel high technology broadband visual augmentation system
built for missions requiring real-time situational awareness in
day~starlight degraded environments.
It features an ultra-low light level (LLL) electronically
intensified SuperCMOS AI sensor with low latency,
high speed, high frame rate performance for a true day/night immersive experience.
The modular, power-efficient core is designed for integration into portable, weapon-mounted, PTZ, and hands-free platforms, supporting a wide range of dismounted and tactical applications.
The X26v4 sensor covers the 400–1,200 nanometer range and delivers a compact, lightweight, low-SWaP solution for integration into short-, medium-, and long-range ISR and target acquisition systems. It supports multi-sensor, broadband, fused configurations, and is compatible with handheld, hands-free, weapon-mounted, fixed, PTZ manned, and unmanned platforms.
The X26v4 is built for use across day, dusk, and night operations, even in harsh environmental conditions. Unlike traditional image intensifier (I²) tubes, it can withstand direct exposure to intense light sources without risk of damage ensuring mission continuity and equipment survivability.
The X26v4 NO LAG, high speed system outputs truly immersive high fidelity video without image smear / delay and significantly exceeds the sensitivity / low-light-level (LLL) performance of currently fielded cameras and imaging systems, offering unmatched operational capability in limited visibility environments.
