VIZGARD

Vizgard is a London-based company that specializes in AI-powered visual autonomy software for defense, security, and surveillance systems. Founded in early 2021 by former Royal Navy submariner Alex Kehoe, Vizgard aims to enhance situational awareness and reduce operator workload through the automation of electro-optical systems. The company develops platform-agnostic visual intelligence solutions for unmanned vehicles, counter-drone systems, and long-range surveillance. Their key product, FortifAI, is an AI engine that provides real-time video analytics, including multi-object detection, counter-UAS capabilities, and risk assessment algorithms. Vizgard also offers VizEDGE hardware, which features plug-and-play computers optimized for edge deployment. Vizgard serves various sectors, including government agencies and defense contractors, focusing on projects that enhance security for critical infrastructure and law enforcement. Recently, the company secured €1.7 million in funding to expand its engineering capabilities and distribution channels.
