About Vizgard
Vizgard develops visual-autonomy software for defence and security sensors. FortifAI runs on NVIDIA edge computers and processes visible or thermal camera feeds for object detection, classification, geolocation, sensor fusion and automated camera or vehicle control. UnifAI manages datasets, device health and model deployment across distributed systems, while the rugged VizEdge computer brings compatible AI workloads to frontline environments with limited connectivity.
The software integrates with fixed surveillance cameras, counter-drone systems and uncrewed air, surface and underwater vehicles through interfaces including ONVIF, MAVLink, NMEA and ATAK. It can cue steerable cameras from radar or radio-frequency tracks, follow maritime targets, assist navigation without GNSS and send compact alerts over constrained links. Vizgard provides the perception and coordination layer on existing sensors and platforms; vehicle hardware, weapons authority and operational command remain outside that software role.
