Embedded HW Design & AI Integration for Advanced Electro-Optics

Overview: F.NOUS Technology provides specialized engineering and R&D services to bridge the gap between complex software algorithms and ruggedized hardware deployment. We specialize in the industrialization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within Electro-Optical (EO/IR) sensing platforms, ensuring that situational awareness tools perform with high reliability in contested or resource-constrained environments.

Core Technical Capabilities:

• Bespoke FPGA & Embedded Design: We develop custom VHDL/Verilog architectures to handle low-latency image processing directly at the edge. This eliminates the need for cloud-dependent processing, ensuring real-time performance for Automatic Target Recognition (ATR).

• AI-Driven Sensor Fusion: Our team integrates multi-spectral data (Thermal, Day/CMOS, LRF) into a unified tactical view. We specialize in "Modular Upgrade" philosophy—designing hardware cores that allow legacy platforms to be retrofitted with modern AI capabilities.

• SWaP-Optimized Development: Expertise in minimizing Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) consumption without sacrificing resolution or range, making our designs ideal for UAV payloads, handheld devices, and man-portable systems.

• MIL-STD Industrialization: We transition R&D prototypes into mission-ready assets, strictly adhering to MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461G for environmental and electromagnetic resilience.

Value to Horizon Europe Consortia: As a 100% EU-owned SME with over 20 years of defense-grade engineering experience, F.NOUS is an ideal partner for Cluster 3 topics (Border Management, Resilient Infrastructure, and Fighting Crime). We provide the "Hardware Core" that allows software partners to deploy their innovations on real-world, high-performance optical sensors.
