The US Armed Forces deploy a vast array of imaging systems for intelligence and operations. Pixon technology offers enhanced performance to virtually every defense imaging application. Whether in real time or post acquisition, Pixon image sharpening, noise reduction, and adaptive contrast control can make critical contributions to:

• Surveillance and reconnaissance
• Targeting and fire control
• Navigation
• Friend-foe discrimination
• Facility security
• Damage assessment
• Night vision

With equivalent quality, Pixon processing allows viewing of battlefield conditions or intelligence targets at double the distance or in six-times dimmer light. Added adaptive contrast control helps simultaneously extract critical detail in bright glare, haze, fog, and shadows. In visible, infrared, or radar images, Pixon technology brings into view potential threats at unprecedented distances, camouflaged troops and vehicles, identifying markings or structures on ships, airplanes, and tanks, or even distinguishing features on a face in a crowd. Pixon image processing offers to new video-guided munitions increased targeting stability and acquisition range.

In the support of national defense and security, government agencies and the military services are increasingly leveraging the Pixon Method to transform raw data into actionable information.
