Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), an innovator in automotive vision systems, announced today that its QuadSight® stereovision solution was recognized as a significant technological breakthrough by Israel’s Ministry of Defense.
The QuadSight solution was tested extensively for more than two years in challenging weather and environmental conditions by the Administration for Research and Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure of Israel’s Ministry of Defense. The tests were conducted to search for an alternative sensor to replace active LiDAR sensors. In addition, the performance of Foresight’s high-resolution point cloud was tested against LiDAR on platforms designed for autonomous driving.
The Ministry of Defense concluded that Foresight's passive stereo technology exceeded all requirements and declared it to be a significant technological breakthrough for defense applications.
Autonomous vehicles require a sensing system that enables accurate perception of the surrounding environment in order to navigate and detect obstacles. Currently, the most commonly used sensors for military vehicles are active LiDAR sensors which constantly broadcast their location and can be easily detected by the enemy.
Foresight’s passive, non-emitting stereo capabilities provide unique 3D perception of the environment. These capabilities are vital to the defense industry, as they leave no energy signature discernible to an adversary.
