A capability upgrade has arrived to Teledyne’s Prism SKR software, turning it from a simple automated targeting solution to a full mission autonomy system.
The update allows it to manage entire mission cycles from tasking through execution, bringing its target recognition functions into a wider operational framework for contested environments.
This enables operators to oversee guided weapon systems, loitering munitions, interceptors, and even first-person view drones through a single software interface.
In signal-denied conditions, Prism SKR’s pixel-lock targeting feature enables autonomous precision during a weapon’s final approach to a target.
“The upgraded Prism SKR represents a significant leap forward by unifying execution and intelligent supervision to provide operators with greater mission confidence,” Teledyne FLIR OEM Vice President of Product Management Jared Faraudo said.
“We are enabling developers to plan and task systems at the speed of intent, while the QgroundControl plugin ensures these capabilities fit naturally into existing operator workflows.”
Additional Features and Capabilities
The update also introduces “terrain-aware” enhancements and an interactive 3D aimpoint selection feature designed to support re-identification tracking in cases of signal loss.
Instead of being locked into one operating mode, Prism SKR can gradually switch from human-assisted control to higher levels of autonomy.
The upgraded system supports a wide range of mission profiles, including air-to-ground, air-to-air, ground-to-air, and ground-to-ground, positioning it as a flexible mission control solution for military forces.
The software is built to run efficiently on onboard hardware, plug into various sensors, and be adopted across partner systems with minimal modification.
