The same video management technology that helps sports broadcasters assemble the days top highlights will soon help military commanders track the action. Lockheed Martin Corp. is looking to bring broadcast TV technology to the battlefield through a $29 million contract with the U.S. Joint Forces Command.
The U.S. Joint Forces Command awarded a Lockheed Martin team the contract for a new system known as Valiant Angel that will apply highly advanced broadcasting technologies to help commanders collect manage process exploit and disseminate full-motion video.
Under the contract a team comprised of Lockheed Martin Harris Corp. and NetApp will design and integrate a new system to manage system to give commanders better visibility into the vast amounts of real-time and archived video which is collected from manned and unmanned aircraft and ground-based sensors.
With Valiant Angel commanders will be able to quickly find the video they need package it into an actionable intelligence report and share it securely with the front-line troops who need it said Dan Rice vice president for spatial solutions at Lockheed Martin.
Valiant Angel will help make video an even more decisive advantage for our forces in virtually any scenario.
