On July 28, Overwatch Imaging, provider of airborne imaging systems and intelligence automation software, has raised a new round of $6 million in venture capital financing to accelerate the go-to-market and partner-driven customer expansion of its AI-powered Automated Sensor Operator (ASO) software.
The round, led by Squadra Ventures with participation from SEMCAP AI, the Elevate Oregon Venture Direct Fund, and Edo Capital, recognizes the significant opportunity in national security and emergency management markets for AI and autonomy transformation to intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) operations.
Overwatch Imaging’s ASO technology enables real-time autonomy for both new and existing electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) video imaging systems, delivering intelligent sensor control, automated data analysis, and mission-specific outputs, while reducing operator workload and delivering superhuman detection capabilities to operators.
“Our team has built a strong, customer-focused business serving daily mission-critical operations in defense and civil applications,” said Greg Davis, founder and CEO of Overwatch Imaging. “Over the past year, we have operated cash-flow positive, collected a ton of unique image data and customer feedback, and invested heavily in R&D to develop our ASO software product for partner imaging systems as well as for our own Smart Sensors. We keep hearing the same needs from every agency we meet, for more sensing and more timely intelligence but less data to manage and less demand on operating crews. This investment allows us to accelerate the delivery of our ASO software to sensor-maker partners, customers and end users around the world, and to advance the state of the art in autonomous airborne ISR.”
“Overwatch Imaging’s ASO tech will immediately catapult currently underutilized assets across multiple departments into the future — at the border, in the Indo-Pacific, and at home, they’re bringing scalable, accessible, and operationally relevant AI-enabled automation to the operator,” said Squadra Ventures Managing Partner Guy Filippelli. “This incredible team has created tremendous value across domains, deployed across the globe. We couldn’t be more supportive of this next phase of the journey, directly shaping the future mission.”
