Current Scientific Corporation, a Canadian-based producer of electro-optical infrared systems, has announced that its innovative surveillance technology has been chosen for testing under the Government of Canada’s Innovation Solutions Canada (ISC) program following a competitive selection.
The system will undergo operational evaluation by a Canadian law enforcement agency in a remote coastal area of British Columbia as part of ISC’s Testing Stream, which is aimed at validating promising pre-commercial solutions for wider government use.
CURRENT’s NN 8087-360 system features a gyro-stabilized pan-tilt-zoom unit with an HD mid-wave infrared camera, long-range HD day camera, and laser rangefinder, complemented by a high-definition thermal camera array providing seamless 360-degree, real-time panoramic imaging.
Equipped with AI-powered object detection optimized for tracking vessel movements, the system delivers reliable, all-weather situational awareness with reduced maintenance needs compared to traditional systems.
CURRENT’s surveillance solutions are installed on a variety of vessels worldwide—ranging from coast guard cutters and naval platforms to luxury yachts and marine research ships—and are also in use for land-based coastal monitoring. The company continues to invest in R&D to advance its systems for safety, security, and environmental applications.
