What is Draco
DRACO is an Event Based Sensor (EBS), also known as a Neuromorphic Sensor, designed for space applications. The camera response to changes in pixel intensity and support high dynamic range imaging while producing low volume of data.
High Dynamic with Fast Response
Draco's dynamic vision sensor technology supports extremely high dynamic range while responding to micro-second level changes. The camera is ideal for space applications with challenging lighting conditions.
Customization
Draco camera can be combined with different optical assemblies with different field of view values to support space applications ranging from navigation to Rendezvous & Proximity Operations and Docking (RPOD) to Space Domain Awareness (SDA).
Edge Processing with AI/ ML
Draco spacecraft neuromorphic event camera can be combined with Infinity Avionics BRAIN processor to support real time data capture, save, and processing to support next generation mission requirements.
