General Dynamics and Sentient Collaborate for Improved Intelligence Reporting

 

By Holly Gonzalez



General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems’ Tactical Multi-intelligence Analysis and Archive System (TAC-MASS) will now use Sentient’s Kestrel Land Moving Target Indication and Kestrel Maritime Automatic Target Detection Software. The partnership will enhance intelligence reporting from UAS in real time. 



Sentient’s Kestrel abilities will allow detection of small and slow-moving targets with the use of airborne electro-optical and infrared aerial live video stream. The real-time video can then be analyzed by General Dynamics’ TAC-MASS.



"We continue to look for ways to help our customers increase productivity, streamline workflow and strengthen overall mission operations," says Mike Manzo, director of Geospatial Solutions at General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems' Imagery Systems division. "By integrating Kestrel's technology into our TAC-MAAS solution, operators can easily detect and identify hard-to-see targets and extract critical intelligence from large volumes of data captured by sensors deployed in the field."



This collaboration will be demonstrated at AUVSI’s Unmanned Systems 2013 at Sentient’s Booth #2721.
