What is Draco
DRACO is a camera employing an Event Based Sensor (EBS), also known as a Neuromorphic Sensor, in place of a traditional line scan or area scan focal plane. Due to its inherent sensing technology, it produces low amounts of data and requires low power making it suitable for persistent space surveillance applications.
Qualified System
The system will be qualified for thermal vacuum, vibration, shock and tested up to 40kRad TID.
Customization
Draco backend electronics can be combined with different optical assemblies to suit a range of space applications ranging from navigation to Rendezvous & Proximity Operations (RPO) to Space Domain Awareness (SDA).
Integrated System
Draco camera will be provided with Infinity Avionics BRAIN processor as an integrated system including camera driver software and SDK to support easy integration.
