Ouster Announces Strategic Partnership with Constellis to Bring Physical AI to Advanced Security Operations

Ouster Gemini to serve as the foundational layer of LEXSO to deliver real-time 3D intelligence across complex security environments

Ouster, Inc. (Nasdaq: OUST) (“Ouster” or the “Company”), a global leader in high-performance lidar sensors and intelligent software solutions that bring Physical AI to life across industries, today announced a strategic partnership with Constellis, a global provider of advanced security and mission support services. Through the partnership, Constellis will offer a unified security solution — combining LEXSO, its AI-driven sensor fusion platform, with Ouster Gemini and Ouster digital lidar — to customers worldwide.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250915131707/en/

LEXSO is Constellis’ next-generation operational intelligence platform, designed to extend visibility, accelerate decision-making, and enhance mission effectiveness. Leveraging AI and multiple sensing modalities — such as lidar, radar, thermal imaging, acoustic detection, and video analytics — LEXSO fuses data into a single, actionable operating picture in real time. Ouster Gemini will serve as the foundational intelligence layer of LEXSO, leveraging Ouster’s proprietary AI software to process 3D digital lidar data for real-time analytics, threat classification, and automated response protocols to bring Physical AI to advanced security operations.

Purpose-built for both public and private environments, LEXSO delivers early detection and actionable threat alerts, giving operators the intelligence to respond instantly. Its open architecture integrates seamlessly with existing systems, ensuring that intelligence moves fluidly from the field to the decision-maker without delay. Backed by Ouster’s lidar-powered AI capability, LEXSO also delivers:

  • Advanced 3D situational awareness and object tracking across challenging weather and light conditions
  • Reduced false alarms
  • Autonomous threat assessment and response coordination
  • Improved operational efficiency and more informed decision making

"Constellis' deep operational expertise, network, and reputation make them an invaluable partner in deploying Ouster Gemini for critical and large-scale security operations," said Ouster CEO Angus Pacala. "Our deployment with LEXSO underscores how lidar-powered AI can transform situational awareness and decision-making for the most demanding security environments."

“Ouster’s software-defined approach to lidar is the perfect complement to LEXSO’s open architecture,” said Terry Ryan, CEO of Constellis. “Together, we’re turning disparate signals into actionable intelligence that moves from the field to the decision-maker in real time — raising detection performance, reducing false alarms, and accelerating response across mission-critical environments.”
