Current Scientific Corporation, a Canadian developer of electro-optical infrared systems, has announced that its advanced surveillance solution has been selected for testing through the Government of Canada’s Innovation Solutions Canada (ISC) program following a competitive selection process.
The system will undergo field trials at a remote site on British Columbia’s west coast, in partnership with a Canadian law enforcement agency. This evaluation, conducted under the ISC Testing Stream, will assess the system’s performance as a pre-commercial product with potential for future national deployment.
Current’s NN 8087-360 system integrates a long-range HD mid-wave infrared camera, an HD day camera, and a laser rangefinder into a gyro-stabilized pan-tilt-zoom unit, paired with an array of high-definition thermal cameras delivering real-time, 360-degree panoramic imaging.
Designed with AI-powered object detection specifically for monitoring vessel traffic, the system provides comprehensive, all-weather situational awareness. Its innovative architecture offers enhanced reliability, reduced maintenance, and improved uptime compared to traditional systems.
CURRENT’s camera solutions are already in use worldwide aboard coast guard ships, naval vessels, super-yachts, ferries, icebreakers, and marine research platforms, as well as in land-based coastal surveillance installations. The company continues to invest in R&D to advance technologies supporting safety, security, and environmental monitoring.
