Overwatch Imaging's ASO (Automated Sensor Operator) transforms EO/IR sensors that previously required manual human operation into an AI-powered automated system — automating sensor movement, data collection, analysis, and reporting in real time.
Through real-time edge processing, ASO analyzes high-resolution imagery directly during flight, detects and classifies objects of interest, and systematically covers wide areas using mission-optimized search patterns.
Going beyond simple automated sensor control, ASO integrates detection, search, and reporting functions — significantly reducing operator workload and dramatically shortening response times in critical situations.
These capabilities allow ASO to deliver exceptional performance in border surveillance, maritime search and rescue (SAR), large-scale disaster response, and wide-area reconnaissance, driving rapid adoption across global ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) applications.
PRODUCT LINE
USE CASES

Application : Korea Coast Guard (DEMO)
- Detection efficiency varies greatly depending on operator skill level when detecting and tracking targets across wide maritime areas, making it difficult to respond immediately to changing situations.
- Particularly in missions such as search and rescue (SAR), illegal vessel surveillance, and survivor detection, a system is needed that can instantly analyze and organize EO/IR imagery acquired during flight and relay it to field commanders.
Benefits
- ASO automatically detects and tracks maritime targets, improving wide-area maritime surveillance efficiency
- EO/IR-based real-time analysis improves target identification and decision-making speed within search zones
- Automated sensor operation reduces pilot/operator fatigue and workload
- Rapidly delivers actionable outputs for immediate use in field command
