The C-View™ imaging technology provides ultra-wide field of view hemispherical imaging that can be implemented for unmanned unit navigation and surveillance.  Ground-based, water-based, and airborne applications benefit from the C-View™ field-of-view.  For ground applications, it can be mounted on robots, compact rovers, and/or extendable masts.  For water-based applications it can be mounted for navigation and/or surveillance purposes on unmanned water crafts.  For aerial applications, it can be mounted on the underside of a UAV for ground surveillance to maximize the coverage per pass and limiting the number of flyovers to survey a given area.  The unit has situational awareness application for military, law enforcement, SWAT, corrections and search and rescue operations.
