Intelivix, a company specializing in video analysis artificial intelligence (AI), announced on the 17th that it has been selected as one of the "100 Defense Innovation Companies" organized by the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, in recognition of its defense AI technology capabilities.

The solution proposed by Intelivix is an AI-based defense video acquisition and analysis technology, with its core being the "near-infrared gated CMOS" technology.

Conventional cameras have difficulty securing visibility in adverse weather conditions such as fog, sea fog, snow, and rain, and infrared (IR) equipment is specialized for nighttime, resulting in surveillance blind spots during bad weather. In fact, the front-line GOP (General Outpost) areas experience dense fog and sea fog for more than 120 days a year, and coastal areas for over 180 days, causing significant difficulties in surveillance operations.

Intelivix's technology addresses this issue by emitting light in pulses, filtering out scattered light, and receiving only the returning signals. This enables the acquisition of clear images even in severe weather, making all-weather surveillance of GOP fences and coastal outposts possible.

In addition to video detection, agentic AI that autonomously perceives and makes judgments about situations has also been introduced. Existing AI-based systems have increased the fatigue of monitoring personnel due to frequent missed detections and false alarms. To address this, Intelivix applied Vision Language Model (VLM) technology, which combines visual information with language models, enabling contextual understanding of situations in video footage and dramatically reducing false alarms.

Furthermore, the technology accurately detects concealed or shielded objects and even very slowly moving objects by comparing scenes before and after. It also features natural language-based video search, text summary reporting, and command decision support through data analysis, signaling a paradigm shift toward a "data-driven scientific surveillance and reconnaissance system" that goes beyond simple monitoring.

This technology is expected to provide a practical solution to the decline in military manpower resources caused by the demographic cliff. As the technology advances, the military will be able to establish a flawless surveillance system operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, without vulnerable periods. By having "AI sentries" monitor dangerous areas instead of humans, operational efficiency will increase, monitoring personnel fatigue will decrease, and surveillance capabilities will be significantly enhanced.

Intelivix CEO Eunsu Choi stated, "With technologies that overcome adverse weather and agentic AI, we will lead defense AI innovation in Korea and complete a perfect AI-based scientific surveillance system that solves the national challenge of declining military manpower resources."

Meanwhile, Intelivix plans to extend its detection range to over 1 kilometer and further advance its long-distance object detection technology, contributing to the export of K-Defense products.
