Photon-X, Inc.

Overview

Problem Warfighters face detection risks from battlefield laser sensors. Multi-sensor solutions are bulky, complex, and computationally intensive.

Solution We integrate camera features with multiple active sensors into a compact package, delivering image and depth mapping, as well as surface and material classification and identification.

Field Validation We have been testing passive ranging with Softwerx and threat detection and ballistics with PEO Soldier..

Technology Maturity (TRL) Our sensor is TRL9 and the device package is at TRL 7.

Strategic Advantage We own 11 patents on technology for optically measuring electromagnetic waves and hold trade secrets on processing sensor output. The tech, developed over 25 years by our founder and CEO, is proprietary.

Go-to-Market Access We currently active in several synergistic phase 1 and phase 2 SBIR programs. We also have a PEO STRI contract for a program of record.

Dual-Use Potential We have several industrial customers funding our custom R&D and devices across sectors like industrial inspection, surveillance, security, and drone GIS. We're urgently targeting markets where we can replace LiDAR, as it demands high computational power and lacks complete image capture.
