Meta Materials Inc. will be showcasing its VLEPSIS® airborne EO wide-area motion imagery (WAMI) system at the Dubai Air Show, November 13-17, 2023. The VLEPSIS platform WAMI system provides large area video coverage of tens to a hundred square kilometers, with sufficient resolution to discern vehicles and people-sized objects. Onboard computer hardware and software allows for 50+ simultaneous live video streams throughout the observational area with AI-based multi-object tracking and DVR-like analytical capability.

What differentiates VLEPSIS technology is its optical sensors and processors coupled with AI-enabled software at the sensor edge to support automation for independent and simultaneous users. Weighing less than 20 kilograms, the sensor system payload is small, light, and sufficiently low-powered to be deployed on helicopters, fixed wing aircraft, and Group 3 UAS platforms. VLEPSIS systems address multi-billion-dollar defense and commercial markets: intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), and optical persistent surveillance. This airborne WAMI system supports multiple traditional security applications such as large-area surveillance, border monitoring, port security, and search and rescue.

Moreover, the small size and low price point will allow penetration of data-oriented commercial markets and applications like smart city sensing, autonomous traffic management, and novel consumer uses. The company will be taking pre-orders for the VLEPSIS WAMI sensor system, starting in 2024.
