Copious Imaging LLC Information

Copious Imaging LLC was formed in December of 2017 as a spin-off of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory. Ten individuals, all with ties to MIT, initiated the company to rapidly commercialize a disruptive new infrared imaging technology that was developed over the previous 10+ years. Copious was initially focused on developing, producing, and deploying the transformative new imaging technology. Our patented Computational-Pixel Imager (CPI) technology enables an order-of-magnitude better dynamic range, field-of-view, and data rate. The company was chartered to meet urgent needs of the United States Department of Defense. The inventors and engineering team which led the development of Digital-Pixel Focal Plane Array (DFPA) and Wide-area Motion Imaging (WAMI) technology, including the Wide-area Infrared Sensing with Persistence (WISP) sensor prototype at MIT-LL, formed that spinoff team. The WISP product at Copious has unique features which enable a leap-ahead in base, critical asset, and force protection capability for fixed and mobile applications and against both ground and air threats. Initial deployments of WISP focused on base protection and C-UAS. The core technology is now also under development for autonomous systems and other critical national security applications.
