Small UAVs are proliferating rapidly, because they provide the warfighter unprecedented access to see the battlefield. The video streams they produce require a great deal of labor-intensive monitoring, and SUAV operators lack the ability to derive precise information from the video. The USAF selected SET to design and build a Real-Time Airborne Video Exploitation (RAVE) Station that integrates 3rd party technology to provide a comprehensive suite of video exploitation tools for use with all SUAV platforms. System features include video stabilization, generation of mosaics, detection and tracking of moving people and vehicles, projection of live video on 3D terrain, full TIVO®-like control of live SUAV video, and automatic reporting via Cursor-on-Target message formats. The RAVE Station is interoperable with wide array of airframes, visible and IR payloads, and ground control stations. The modular, open architected design permits integration of exploitation software from other sources. The software is hosted on a ruggedized Toughbook® laptop computer, requiring no proprietary hardware or software.
