Image Library


• Net centric infrastructure:• Supports All Levels of Air Intelligence (Strategic, Operative and Tactical),

(seamless integration of all level systems)

• NetCentric RVT Capability, (No need to have aircraft connectivity)

• Continuous Access to Intelligence Enterprise, (Information is centrally located; rapid, easy and continuous access to data)

• Secure Dissemination of Information,• Streaming Media Services, (Live streaming video is available to decision

makers to rapid and fast reaction and for better situational awareness)

• Wide range of input formats:• Supports wide range of data sources varying from UAV’s, to Recce A/C,

to Satellite Pics,

• Fusion of multiple sensor data, (Since many sources of data collected within the same database; data fusion is capability is available to achieve enhanced information )

• Multisensor, single and multiple image exploitation, (one environment, multi sensor exploitation; one environment, multi site’s data exploitation )

Operational Advantages Highlights for Central Image Intelligence #1


• Increased Situational Awareness:• Current Data, (Live access to current data for better situational

awareness)

• Historical Data,(Rapid access to historical data to observe the trend.)

• Integrated GIS Support, (Fully integrated GIS tools to analyze the data. Measure distances between the objects, get the coordinates of images and findings, align the data and findings with a map for increased situational awareness )

• Supports all phases of Intelligence Cycle:• Intelligence Processing from Request to Reporting and

Information Dissemination, (Integrated solution to provide the user with Intel Request Mngmnt, Intel Collection Mngmnt, Intel Resource Mngmnt, Intel Data Mngmtn for Strategic Level Intel Activities)



• State-of-the art Technology:• Web based solution, HTML 5 supported GIS, (Accessible from

a wide range of devices/locations, also platform independent application)

• Multi level recording:• Integrated data storage capability, (data storage solution is fully

integrated with intelligence solution, multi level intelligence specific data storage needs are fully met )

• Sophisticated data storage and data aging policy, (special data aging policy for less used intelligence products; also special data archiving policy specific to intelligence needs. Data access to archived data is available from the integrated intelligence solution offered)



• Collecting data received from different sensors and systems in a central location allows generation of most confident and correct intelligence reports through validation and cross checks. – Reliability

• Providing information integrity by combining all data and reports in a center and maintaining a centralized database. – Information Fusion

• Providing a single data dissemination point, which allows controlled dissemination of correct and current intelligence to relevant parties in necessary detail. – Security

• A centralized architecture allows accelerated approval and decision takign processes. – Efficiency
