Ascent Vision Technologies (AVT) is a US-based defence equipment facilating company that develops computer vision algorithms, airborne and counter drone systems for the military.[1][2]

History

Ascent Vision Technologies was established in 2015 by CEO, Tim Sheehy. AVT grew into an independent engineering and production organization for defense technology solutions. AVT was a sister company to Bridger Aerospace to develop gyro-stabilized imaging systems for real-time aerial wildfire surveillance and mapping.[3][4]

Current operations

AVT is headquartered at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport in Belgrade, Montana. Additional engineering and production efforts are based in Melbourne, Australia to support AVT's contracts with the Australia Defence Force (ADF).[5] AVT's Australian footprint started as a partnership with one of its suppliers, UAV Vision (founded by Michael Bailey). This led to the acquisition and forming of AVT Australia in 2018.[6][7]

AVT's systems are used by the US Military across multiple departments, Australian Defence Force and international companies in the defense, aerospace and unmanned systems industries. AVT's counter drone system serviced the destruction of an Iranian drone in the Straits of Hormuz in July, 2019.[8][9] AVT has secured US DoD and international contracts for counter UAS (CUAS); air defense; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). AVT has provided defence equipments to many militaries including US Marine Corps, US Air Force, US Special Operations Command, US Navy, US Army, Australian Defense Force and as well as Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.[10][11]
