PRINCETON, NJ–November 10, 2009– Sarnoff Corporation announced today that TerraSight™, its advanced aerial video exploitation software suite, has been selected as a winner of the C4ISR Journal Big 25 Award for outstanding innovations in networking for processing ISR data.
TerraSight, is a C4ISR-enabling solution that aggregates real-time video and sensor data from surveillance cameras mounted on towers or UAVs and seamlessly integrates it into a high-resolution 3D terrain model of the earth.
“With commanders increasingly relying on intelligence and reconnaissance data from UAVs and ground sensors, TerraSight leverages that information to produce immersive situational understanding and clear, actionable intelligence to track, target, and analyze the enemy,” said Mark Clifton, Sarnoff’s Acting President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud to receive this prestigious award and to be included among the world’s most advanced and effective C4ISR solutions available today.”
TerraSight, was selected as one of the top 5 solutions in the Networks category, which included command and control systems, communications systems, and intelligence-sharing tools. Finalists were selected for making a significant difference in a battle zone or in sharing intelligence for deterrence, force protection, or homeland defense.
TerraSight, software is currently deployed in the field with all four service branches, helping mission commanders, tactical operators, and imagery analysts perform functions such as persistent surveillance, area reconnaissance, sensor cross-cueing, and targeting.
Recently, TerraSight, was licensed service-wide to the Army and can be found in the Army’s Base Expeditionary Targeting and Surveillance Systems - Combined (BETSS-C) program. In addition, it has been licensed by Raytheon as part of the U.S. military’s Persistent Surveillance and Dissemination System of Systems (PSDS2), currently being deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
