The Ukrainian Odd Systems team announced the launch of mass production of the new tactical camera «Svitlich-662» — a solution created specifically for modern combat missions using computer vision.
It is a full-color camera with a resolution of 1920×1080, which works on a new generation sensor and is designed for use in unmanned systems — from small UAVs to ground robots and stationary observation points. The key feature is integration via the MIPI CSI-2 interface, which allows it to be connected directly to single-board computers and minimizes latency during video processing.
According to the company’s CEO Roman Medvedev, «Svitlich-662» is not just another camera, but a tool adapted to the real needs of the military. «This is a mass digital camera for the front, which is already ready for large-scale production and use. Our task is to create optical systems that help effectively perform combat missions, in particular, intercepting air targets,» he notes.
The developers placed special emphasis on working in difficult lighting conditions. The camera is capable of transmitting high-quality Full HD images even at dusk, which is critical for combat scenarios where drones often operate at the edge of visibility.
Another important point is optimization for computer vision algorithms. Thanks to low latency and minimal motion blur, the camera can effectively work with AI models that are responsible for detecting, tracking, and engaging targets in real time.
The solution is also adapted for popular platforms such as the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W — with a ready-made driver stack and stable pipeline, which greatly simplifies integration for developers of military and dual-use systems.
