ITT is working with the Air Force to develop an advanced imagery management and dissemination system for combat forces. It receives processed imagery from various intelligence-surveillance-reconnaissance sources, allowing the military to quickly locate and access current imagery. The system, which incorporates the Advanced Geospatial Imagery Library Enterprise, disseminates imagery in near real time to combat forces in the field at low bandwidths. An ITT releases says the “dynamic access” of full-frame imagery reduces tactical decision-making time “from days/hours to minutes/seconds.”
A single-pallet-sized tactical operations center is slated to begin shipping to 70 Air Force units by the end of the year following a recent announcement by the company that made it and the Air Force entity responsible for its development.
