Optimized Electrotech Pvt Ltd (OEPL), an imaging surveillance technology has announced the technology transfer of the Optical Imaging System (OIS) from NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), a subsidiary of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The OIS enables long-distance surveillance across the visible and near-infrared spectra of the electromagnetic spectrum. 

The system operates under various lighting conditions, including twilight and mid-day, through a single sensor and a consistent setup. This advancement holds potential, particularly in challenging environments such as coastal and desert regions, as well as in applications where precision surveillance is much needed.

The transfer has been facilitated through a comprehensive Technology Transfer Agreement, paving the way for the advancement, production, and commercialization of the Optical Imaging System both within India and on a global scale. 

This initiative has received support from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), highlighting the collaboration’s significance. Furthermore, ISRO’s expertise and innovation in space technology will complement Optimized Electrotech’s state-of-the-art imaging capabilities, creating a synergy poised to revolutionise surveillance.

Sandeep Shah, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Optimized Electrotech, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “With the surveillance systems market in India projected to reach $2.5 billion, with annual growth rates of 25-30%, this collaboration is a game-changer. OIS holds the promise of revolutionising security and surveillance in demanding environments, aligning perfectly with current market demands. 

The agreement, which was formalised in September, comes as a result of the collaborative efforts of key stakeholders, including Dr. Pawan Kr Goenka, Chairperson of Inspace, Rajeev Jyoti, Director of Inspace, and A. Arunachalam, Director of NSIL.
