Teledyne FLIR Launches Prism Supervisor Software, Enhances UAS Autonomous Capabilities
AI-Based Automated Response at the Edge Improves Drone Mission Safety and Performance

Prism Supervisor integrates drone autopilot flight control systems with real-time, AI-based observations

Teledyne FLIR OEM, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, recently announced the release of Prism™ Supervisor, the latest addition to its Prism embedded software ecosystem. Prism Supervisor integrates drone autopilot flight control systems with real-time, AI-based observations at the edge to improve mission safety, efficiency, and performance, enhancing the capabilities of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).

Prism Supervisor software empowers mission planners with a flexible programming framework and software development kit (SDK) to facilitate custom, intricate mission scenarios. During flight, Prism Supervisor adapts its autopilot functionality in real-time, dynamically generating mission segments and flight plans on the fly, minimizing operator impact while improving mission success. For example, a Prism Supervisor-controlled UAV flying a search mission pattern can autonomously circle and alert the operator upon the detection of a human or threat.

“From behavior and mission planning to dynamically adjusting in-flight operations, Prism Supervisor represents a significant advancement for drone autonomy through AI,” said Dan Walker, Vice President of Product Management, Teledyne FLIR. “It improves operational performance via single-click missions, opening up new possibilities for UAS operation from commercial to military use cases.” 

Prism Supervisor simplifies the operator experience with a user-friendly graphic user interface (GUI) for mission planning, real-time mission visualization, and execution. Available for desktop or mobile deployment supporting Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android, the supervised mission management application streams and records detailed, full-frame-rate video, path visualization, and metadata. It can facilitate collaborative behaviors and synchronized mission execution among multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Prism Supervisor expands Teledyne FLIR’s Prism digital ecosystem of advanced AI and image processing. It provides a platform for deploying object detection, tracking, and computational imaging on low-power processors, enhancing UAS mission performance and reducing development costs.
