Sapient Perception builds physical AI sensors for unmanned systems, empowering mission-critical decision-making and autonomy through large area perception.

Defense, security, and emergency response operators face the same constraint. Their drones capture more data than ever, but bandwidth limitations force a tradeoff between coverage and resolution, and operators are constantly switching views to compensate. Our 10K sensors eliminate that tradeoff, covering up to 108× the area of a conventional camera in a single frame while maintaining the resolution to detect, classify, and track vehicles, munitions, and personnel.

The intelligence processing happens on the sensor. Our IGNITE AI framework orchestrates sensor data and AI models directly at the edge, delivering real-time actionable intelligence, from persistent ISR and wide-area surveillance to border security, critical infrastructure protection, and search and rescue.

NVIDIA edge processing, custom optics and MOSA-based architecture with native MAVLink support are all within a SWaP optimized form factor. A containerized AI plugin enables fast, secure deployment of proprietary models at scale. NDAA compliant and ITAR-free, on a fully trusted and allied supply chain.

Sapient was founded by a team bringing 30+ years of combined experience in sensor architecture, imaging technology and defense markets.

See everything. Miss nothing. Protect what matters.
