AI-Driven Cheetah HS Sensor Hits 260,000 FPS for Next-Gen Surveillance, Targeting

California-based AIStorm and Israel’s Tower Semiconductor are pushing battlefield imaging into overdrive with the Cheetah HS sensor, embedding AI directly into the chip to capture up to 260,000 frames per second.

The 120×80-pixel device integrates AI at the first processing layer, enabling real-time analysis while significantly reducing energy consumption and material costs.

The system leverages Tower’s charge-domain imaging platform and AIStorm’s analog neurons to convert photons directly into electric charge and process data analogically, bypassing traditional high-speed data converters.
