Hi bdwalter. Yes there are a number of companies in the military space making 360º cameras. Generally these are built for a different use case and often cost 10-100x what Sphericam costs. This is generally the rule with medical and military equipment - it needs to be "overengineered" to withstand exceptionally demanding environments without fail because lives may be on the line (99.9999 vs. 99.9 uptime, and all that). Not to say that Sphericam isn't built to take a beating - it is - but I wouldn't yet want to make the kind of guarantees required to sell it as a military solution. Not this iteration, anyway - a ruggedized (throwable! flying! lasers!) version is certainly doable in the future!
