Reveal Technology, a veteran-founded company in Bozeman, has received a $9.5 million purchase order from the U.S. Army to put its Farsight 3D mapping software into more infantry brigades, the company said Oct. 7.
It is the second delivery order under an existing GSA contract. Reveal said the software is already in the field with the 82nd Airborne Division and is being tied into Nett Warrior, the Army’s soldier-worn command system. The new order covers procurement, distribution, training and sustainment for units that have to work when a network is weak or missing. Resilience Media also reported the award the same week.
Farsight turns live video into 3D terrain models on ordinary edge and mobile devices, using computer vision and on-device processing rather than a connection back to a larger network. The company says the software runs on military hardware already issued to infantry units and is meant for mission planning, route analysis and obstacle detection.
“We’re proud to have built Farsight alongside the infantry and around the realities of how soldiers actually fight,” Vice President David Caudle said. CEO Garrett Smith said the order “validates what soldiers have told us works in the field.”
Five days later, Reveal released Farsight 2.0, which it said adds a “global world model” that can pull imagery from more sources into one terrain picture. The company told customers the update would go out to existing users and to newly fielded units.
