Overwatch Imaging

Overwatch Imaging is an imagery intelligence technology company. It works on autonomous sensor systems for time-critical airborne search, detection, tracking and monitoring. The company was founded in 2016 in Hood River, Oregon.

Its Smart Sensors are purpose-built, high resolution multispectral imaging systems. The site says they give large area image intelligence for ISR, search, emergency response and mapping. The company also sells the PT Smart Sensors and TK Smart Sensors models.

The Automated Sensor Operator, called ASO, is software for EO and IR gimbals. It can be added to an existing sensor fleet. The site says ASO steers the sensor, collects data, detects objects and writes intelligence reports. It reduces operator workload and supports autonomous ISR workflows.

The company says its products are software defined and platform agnostic. They can be fitted to different aircraft. The site says they connect with existing command and control systems, and it lists STANAG compliance and CoT support. Mission profiles and automated workflows reduce the tasks an operator must do. The site says ASO is native to its own Smart Sensors and is also an upgrade for airborne video gimbal platforms.

The site lists five mission areas. These are defense and tactical ISR, maritime ISR, airborne law enforcement, wildfire and emergency response, and inspection and mapping. For maritime work, the site lists AIS signal fusion and edge AI detection and tracking, day and night.

The company says it supports private sector companies, as well as federal, state and local agencies. The site says it works with missions ranging from wildfire mapping and disaster response to border security and tactical intelligence. It also says it works with clients around the world. The company says it has supported private sector companies and government agencies around the world since 2016.

The company is in Hood River, Oregon, at Nichols Parkway. Its contact page offers an email contact and a support ticket form for existing customers. Customers can file a support ticket or email the company, and the site says it responds within 48 hours.
