Autonomous Threat Detection and Response System

Building the world's first fully integrated AI-powered weapon detection platform with coordinated drone swarm response.

Pharos AI is developing an autonomous threat detection and response platform that combines:

• AI-Powered Detection: YOLOv8-based weapon detection with 95%+ accuracy
• Edge Processing: Real-time inference on NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano (67 TOPS)
• Drone Swarms: Coordinated autonomous response with PX4/MAVLink integration
• Zero-Latency Response: 1.8-second detection to 12-second drone deployment

• Traditional security response time: 3-5 seconds (human reaction)
• Butler PA incident (July 13, 2024): 8+ minute response time, 142-yard blind spot
• Current systems: 60%+ false positives, disconnected response protocols

• 1.8-second weapon detection (266% faster than humans)
• 360° overwatch formation deployment in 12 seconds
• <5% false positive rate with 95%+ detection accuracy
• 45+ minute flight time per drone with intelligent swarm coordination
