Access to relevant, accurate, and timely GEOINT by the warfighter is a principal objective of the NSG. Conversely, assimilating field intelligence data collected by the warfighter back into the GEOINT Enterprise enriches the situational awareness of analysts and future combat units. A robust tactical communications network is a key enabler in achieving these objectives. Harris, one of the free world's leaders in tactical communications equipment and networks for military applications, is well equipped to meet these communications challenges head on. With our unique combination of expertise in geospatial processing, data access and dissemination systems, and tactical communications, Harris has the unique breadth and depth of expertise to integrate the warfighter into the GEOINT Enterprise.
Our Report Generator application works with RemoteView and enables soldiers to annotate imagery files with locally collected and geospatially tagged intelligence. This local intelligence is captured in reports, transmitted back to the Forward Operating Base, and captured by Harris’ Active Catalog™ application. Active Catalog manages the local data cache and synchronizes the local catalog with the rest of the GEOINT Enterprise. The problem of collecting, geo-tagging, and assimilating local intelligence is not new to Harris. We have built 150,000 handheld Field Data Collection devices for the U.S. Census Bureau and the processing system that supports them-one of the largest GEOINT field collection systems in the U.S.
Harris bolsters situational awareness for soldiers on patrol. Through Active Catalog the soldier can access real-time GEOINT over a tactical communications network. The freshest and most relevant GEOINT is delivered to the soldier's laptop via JPIP streaming. Harris' FliteScene™ software is a great example of situational awareness in a combat situation. FliteScene is combat proven software application that provides mapping and 3D visualization and exploitation for rotary and fixed-winged aircraft. This same concept can be directly applied to soldiers on patrol through the communication and computer equipment installed in their Humvees.
In addition to accessing imagery and GEOINT from the Forward Operating Base, the warfighter can downlink full motion video directly from the airborne sensors over a datalink to the Harris RF-7800T ISR Video Receiver. A tethered monocle enables the warfighter to view real-time imagery while maintaining vigilance on his surroundings. HD full motion video can also be provided to a laptop in the Humvee. High definition video from airborne platforms is compressed and digitized through the Harris AcuityH264™ Encoder and transmitted via a datalink to a laptop in the Humvee. The laptop decodes the data stream and presents the high-resolution video imagery for exploitation.
