Founded in 1997, M7 Visual Intelligence ("M7VI") has developed and operated three generations of Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) and mapping imaging sensors. Based on industry experts' reviews, M7VI believes that with the commercial introduction of Iris One™, the aerial imaging community will have available the fastest, lightest, most reliable and most economical medium-to-large format digital aerial imaging sensor in the industry.

Engineered to be a truly modular and scalable architecture from the “ground up”, with in-sensor scalability from medium to large frame format imaging, Iris One™ aims to defy the rapid obsolescence so common to digital technology and extend operational and investment life by being reconfigurable utilizing the same base technology as imaging sensor technology continues to evolve. Iris One™ can be used for multiple and varied applications, making it the most advanced sensor on the market.
