Citation :: Lockheed Martin Demonstrates Advanced Airborne Border Surveillance in Europe

Intelligence & Surveillance Capabilities Showcased at FRONTEX

DENVER, November 21st, 2011 -- During a recent European exercise, Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] demonstrated advanced border surveillance capabilities from an optionally piloted vehicle. Lockheed Martin and its team showcased how traditional defense focused integrated airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities can be quickly adapted to address dynamic border protection as well as maritime search and rescue needs.

FRONTEX, tasked to strengthen the security of the European Union external borders, hosted the exercise to view existing capabilities in a live environment. The primary goal of the exercise was to evaluate how optionally piloted vehicles or unmanned vehicles can further enhance border surveillance in the maritime domain. Lockheed Martin demonstrated how quickly optionally piloted vehicles could collect intelligence on suspicious activity or detect boats in distress, then immediately send imagery, streaming video and other gathered intelligence to a ground station.
“Lockheed Martin presented an affordable, integrated solution tailored to address specific European border management requirements,” said Jim Quinn, vice president of C4ISR Systems with Lockheed Martin IS&GS-Defense. “We demonstrated how ISR tools can be rapidly deployed, while maintaining linkage to existing infrastructure.”
Using a Diamond Airborne Sensing aircraft equipped with a FLIR Electro Optical/InfraRed camera and a robust communications suite, the aircraft collected high definition video and imagery over several flights. Captured information was then transmitted to a ground system via both line of sight and beyond line of sight communications, providing users on the ground with better situational understanding and broader knowledge of the immediate environment. In near real-time, ground station analysts were able to view the data, then update situational awareness displays for all users in the enterprise. Lockheed Martin’s team also demonstrated how to share situational awareness pictures with a wide range of display technologies, ranging from computers to handheld devices.
Lockheed Martin’s team offers deep domain expertise across the entire C4ISR spectrum, including command and control, communications, sensors, as well as manned and unmanned aircraft. The team included Diamond Aircraft Industries, Scotty Group, Inmarsat, FLIR Government Systems, FAST Protect AG and Broadcast Microwave Services, Inc.

Headquartered in Bethesda, MD., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 126,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products, and services. The Corporation's 2010 sales from continuing operations were $45.8 billion.

INDRA DEVELOPS A MARITIME SURVEILLANCE LIGHT AIRCRAFT

The company collaborates with Tecnam, Selex Galileo, FLIR Systems and Airborne Technologies in this project
The objective is to offer a solution with the best operation/surveillance capacity cost ratio
It will be ready to enter service in 2012 and will have the capacity to guard maritime areas located from 50 to 200 miles offshore

Indra, the premier IT company in Spain and a leading IT multinational in Europe, is working on the development of a new maritime surveillance light aircraft in collaboration with Italian aircraft manufacturer Tecnam, firms SELEX Galileo, FLIR Systems and Remote Sensing and Sensor Integration company Airborne Technologies.

The five partners seek to develop an aircraft equipped to provide state-of-the-art surveillance at a more competitive cost in terms of acquisition and operation. The aircraft will be ready to engage in rescue missions, protection of fishing fleets and environment; and surveillance of illegal trafficking of either people or drugs, among others. The aircraft will be ready to enter service by the end of 2012.

This aircraft will patrol those maritime zones usually kept under surveillance by coastguards with medium-size helicopters for a considerably reduced cost and highly more efficient as it will be equipped with a thorough maritime surveillance system (radar, AIS vesseld ID system and a cutting-edge electroptical device).

To develop a solution of this type tecnam's P2006T platform was selected. This light, twin-engine aircraft is easy to pilot and uses traditional fuel which dramatically reduces costs in operation. It also requires minimal maintenace and can takeoff and land in makeshift runways.

The aircraft will be able to patrol an area from 50 to 200 nautical miles offshore. This zone is out of the range of coastal surveillance systems and medium-size helicopters which can make it up to 100 miles. In order to cover this zone effectively the required maritime patrol aircrafts can be acquired and operated at a much higher cost.

The competitive cost of this new platform will permit the forces in charge of coast surveillance and protection of the exclusive economic zone to afford the necessary units to undertake their duties in these waters. At the same time, by reducing operation costs, the aircraft can patrol as many times as necessary.

In-depth knowledge of maritime surveillance

The participation of Indra, SELEX Galileo, FLIR Systems and Airborne Technologies contributes knowledge and experience to this project to equip the aircraft with the necessary intelligence to engage in maritime surveillance missions. The systems to be implemented will allow the platform to explore areas of up to 40,000 nautical square miles each time.

Indra will undertake the implementation of the mission system, the key element to control embarked sensors, integrate collected data and present them to the operator. The mission system also allows control of broad band bidirectional communications with the ground station which receives and submits information in real time as the information generated can be integrated and processed in any existing coastal surveillance or maritime traffic control systems.

Regarding the sensors, the aircraft will be equipped with SELEX Galileo's Seaspray 5000E radar whose detail degree allows distinction of the shapes and sizes of objects and is capable of detecting vessels or small objects in the sea. It will also carry a state-of-the-art electroptical camera of large format and high definition of FLIR Systems. We should also add a vessel id system which captures the automatic signals of ships. This identification signal emitted by ships is compared with that supplied by the aircraft sensors, thus facilitating surveillance and detection of suspicious actions.

Leadership in maritime security in Europe

Indra's technology currently controls over 3,500 km of borders world wide. It is a leading company in the development and start-up of coastal surveillance systems in Europe and its systems cover almost all the territorial waters of the Iberian Peninsula, the coast of Latvia and the coasts of the Black Sea in Rumania. The company also leads the Perseus project, an ambitious initiative boosted by the European Union to develop and test a maritime surveillance system by means of the integration of existing national systems of the continent. Outside Europe, Indra has developed a surveillance system to control Hong Kong's coasts and its more than 200 isles.

In the area of Unmanned Aircrafts (UAVs), the company is awaiting the time the law permits their use in the civil air space.

Indra

Indra is the premier Information Technology company in Spain and a leading IT multinational in Europe and Latin America. It is ranked as the second European company in its sector according to investment in R&D with over € 500 M during the last three years. In 2010 revenues reached € 2,557 M and the international market already accounts for a 44%. The company employs more than 35,000 professionals and has clients in more than 110 countries.

Raytheon Intelligence & Space a écrit:: How Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning Will Make ISR Faster

The Multi-Spectral Targeting System is a turreted electro-optical and infrared sensor used in maritime and overland intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. Raytheon Intelligence and Space is integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning across ISR capabilities to help warfighters make decisions faster with reduced workload.

If a swarm of heavily armed fast boats barreled full speed at an aircraft carrier, the crew would have very little time to react.

But if that crew had artificial intelligence and machine learning at its disposal, that blitz of boats probably wouldn’t pose nearly as much of a problem.
AdvertisementRaytheon Intelligence & Space, one of four businesses that form Raytheon Technologies, is using artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities of the U.S. and allied armed forces. The approach is to synthesize reams of data into actionable intelligence and accurate targeting information at speed and scale, in high-risk environments.AdvertisementAdvertisement

“In multi-domain operations, you don’t have full domain superiority but have to exploit what they call moments of superiority in the battlefield,” said Jim Wright, RI&S’ technical director for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems. “Speed is a big issue in this defense strategy, which is challenged by huge amounts of data and a limited number of people to look at it.”

A military customer once told Wright the armed services collect 22 football seasons’ worth of video every day. That’s far too much to sift through manually – especially when operators have to make critical decisions quickly, such as protecting ships in crowded sea lanes.

“We’re looking at how machine learning can augment our existing sensor product lines and the question is: ‘How can we utilize machine learning technology to help military commanders make decisions?’” said Shane Zabel, AI Technology Area director for RI&S. “How do we embed some kind of learning machine to go with the sensors to help better execute the mission?”

Traditionally, operators have control sensors and analyzed data much like you’d think they would – by keeping their eyes locked on screens, pressing buttons and using joysticks to move things around. RI&S is using military and commercial advancements in technology to automate those functions.

“AI/ML is at the core of our technology roadmap across Raytheon Intelligence & Space,” said Barbara Borgonovi, vice president of Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems at RI&S. “We are implementing AI/ML into next-generation ISR capabilities so operators can rapidly make the right decisions in any threat environment.”

The business is also developing smart software called Cognitive Aids to Sensor Processing, Exploitation and Response (CASPERTM), to lighten the operator’s workload and use automation to help make decisions faster.

The aids interpret operator requests, then control sensor and data processing functions. They are being integrated into products like the Multi-Spectral Targeting System, which provides visible and infrared intelligence and targeting information for an array of airborne platforms.

CASPER allows operators to work above the drudgery of data processing and instead focus on decision making, resulting in exponentially faster threat response.

Take the fast boat scenario, for example.

“Much like talking to Alexa or Siri, an operator tells CASPER to scan for fast boats and prioritize by threat to the carrier,” Wright said. “CASPER then takes control of sensor functions, rapidly identifies which boats are threats based on things like their appearance and behavior over space and time, and provides the operator with the threat list and recommended courses of action.

“This enables the operator to focus attention on ensuring recommendations are correct and consistent with policy, making the whole process shorter and safer,” he said.

RI&S is developing advanced automation capabilities for ground station systems, and is advancing these capabilities to the leading edge of the sensor grid.

There are thousands of systems and sensors in today’s battlespace. Automation will also help deliver the right data at the right time to make decisions faster through another transformative solution – Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2). JADC2 is a future command and control network that will link capabilities and military platforms across the globe in all domains – air, land, sea, cyber and space.

“Machine learning has really taken off,” Zabel said. “It’s all about harnessing the speed potential AI and ML offer.”
