Cognitics, Inc. offers a new software system that combines a geospatial database and a 3D simulated environment with technology developed by Lockheed Martin for targeting systems. The new software system will be able to precisely identify the location and orientation of the camera for each video frame and use that information to accurately overlay the video frames with a wide variety of geospatial and cartographic features. This technology can significantly increase the situational awareness of UAV pilots by displaying and/or highlighting the location of targets, troops, landmarks, or any other element that has a geographic location component. Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control has a tremendous amount of experience and technology in targeting and fire control. In this field it is essential to determine the position of the camera (e.g. of a missile or an aircraft) with greater precision than that available only from GPS and flight data (e.g. compass, altimetry, bank, attitude). Lockheed has developed a system that compares frames from a video feed to a simulated environment that represents the ground truth for a given area and builds a transformation matrix that can correct the GPS position to obtain an even more precise position. This allows aiming and fire control to be extremely precise. Cognitics is a leader in geospatial data preparation and generation in the defense simulation industry. To accurately display features on a video feed from a UAV, we propose to leverage technology originally researched and developed by Lockheed Martin for targeting and fire control systems with cutting-edge simulation technology. First, a synthetic 3D environment representing the “ground truth” is generated and rendered based on the camera… in the center of the card… added to allow the dynamic content to be displayed to the end user in real time. time. For example, a moving vehicle could be highlighted or represented via a symbol in real time based on remote telemetry. Controlled airspace can be updated in real time to show the pilot which areas are cleared for flight. Therefore, at the conclusion of Phase II, the Air Force will receive the ability to overlay UAV video feeds with data such as map features and real-time tactical information. For this project, Lockheed Martin will work as a subcontractor. Cognitics employees will work closely with Lockheed Martin research and engineering personnel to leverage existing research in this area and apply the findings to systems in the field. Lockheed Martin will provide access to the data, information, source code, expertise and facilities necessary to ensure the success of this effort.
