Defence technology company, Chess Dynamics will display its Deep Embedded Feature Tracking (DEFT), an advanced real-time video tracking capability that provides accurate and robust tracking in complex situations, on stand at Indo Pacific 2023 next week.

DEFT utilises a deep learning approach, developed by Chess brand Vision4ce, to create a comprehensive model of the tracked target. This allows the system to accurately locate dynamic targets and reliably re-acquire them following periods of occlusion. DEFT provides vastly improved tracking of difficult targets, such as dynamic objects that are changing appearance or rapidly accelerating, against foreground and background clutter, where traditional algorithms struggle. 

The technology enhances Chess’s AI-driven target detection and tracking capability and integrates with Neural Network-based object detection and classification of targets including multi-rotor drones, vessels and land vehicles.

As the tracking progresses, the model uses deep learning to continue to evolve its understanding of the target and its behaviour, resulting in precise long-term, robust tracking performance. Accurate target classification allows the system to take advantage of automation technology for threat prioritisation and alerts, while also developing robust analytics data to enable more accurate decision making.

Chess will be showcasing DEFT alongside its Australian technology partner Owen International. The two companies signed a partnership agreement in 2020 to establish an Australian supply and support capability for Chess’ maritime systems following the selection of the Type 26 for the Hunter Class programme in 2018, where Chess’ Sea Eagle systems will be integrated. This involved the transfer of IP and training to Australian personnel to enable them to commission, repair and upgrade the systems and continue development of domestic support capabilities.
