Tel Aviv: Israeli company Maris-Tech has launched the Diamond Ultra, a fully integrated hardware-software system designed to enhance situational awareness and airborne threat protection for Armoured Fighting Vehicles (AFVs) and critical defence applications.
The full-system solution combines a ruggedised processing box with an AI-powered analytics card in one cohesive platform. This integration eliminates compatibility challenges found in separate systems while simplifying deployment and enhancing operational performance in harsh environments.
The Diamond Ultra platform provides comprehensive 360° 3D situational awareness, addressing critical challenges such as blind spots, slow threat detection, and integration complexities in modern combat environments. It integrates up to 11 camera inputs (IP, analog, and HD/SDI) and leverages dual AI accelerators (~60 TOPS) for high-speed processing of multiple video streams simultaneously. This ensures instant threat identification and actionable intelligence for defence teams operating in mission-critical scenarios.
Designed for rapid installation and low maintenance, the Diamond Ultra system supports LTE/5G connectivity, enabling real-time video transmission and remote monitoring from command centres or other off-site locations. This capability enhances operational flexibility by allowing defence teams to maintain oversight even in dynamic or geographically dispersed combat scenarios.
Additionally, its continuous recording functionality supports post-event debriefing and training while also enabling the refinement of AI models through raw video data analysis. This ensures long-term operational improvement and adaptability to evolving threats.
Israel Bar, CEO and Founder of Maris-Tech Ltd., emphasising the system’s groundbreaking capabilities, stated, “Diamond Ultra is a transformative milestone for Maris-Tech, an integrated solution that unites advanced AI-powered software with ruggedised hardware into one seamless platform. This innovation eliminates the delays and complexities often caused by separate systems, enabling faster deployment and ensuring consistent performance in mission-critical environments. By integrating situational awareness and threat detection into a single system, we enhance force safety while providing defence teams with a reliable, future-ready solution that adapts effortlessly to evolving operational demands.”
