The Roaring 20s - ATL2 as a testbed for SEARCHMASTER®'s AI functions

01 Sep 2023

The Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) has been flying over the Baltic Sea for a few hours and is now approaching the area of interest. Upon approach, environmental conditions become evident: scattered floes are starting to appear and, as the sea is a little agitated today, white caps and sprays are forming on the surface. The radar operator is focused on fine tuning the search, selecting the right smart radar functionality for the scenario he/she sees building on the screen. This will greatly enhance the search for potential targets among the deluge of data, however it does require to concentrate on multiple tasks. If there was a way to automate the radar’s functionality selection, the operator thinks he/she would be even more efficient...

Seamless tracking from sea to land for efficient border protection

An aircraft is patrolling the sea along a country’s coastline. Analysis from the latest Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission has left no room for uncertainty: fresh footsteps are detected on nearby beaches, indicating activity in a well-known area, favoured by illegal smugglers. The Commander is very clear on the necessity to come back to monitor and catch them in the act, but the operator tasked with the mission is concerned. She knows the sensors will detect the maritime activity but when the targets move to land, her current system will lose the trail…

Electronic warfare: the cornerstone of platform survivability

The aircrew has been briefed, the mission is clear: the helicopter is to fly deep into enemy territory to provide air support for ground troops in a sticky situation. As the crew straps in and prepares for take-off, they know they'll be flying into the unknown. Despite the detailed intelligence gathered beforehand, there's no knowing what they'll encounter: enemy surveillance systems may have been redeployed, short-range missile systems and rocket launchers may have been concealed behind terrain features, or a makeshift drone could be flown into the helicopter. The helicopter's self-protection system needs to perform in order to guarantee the mission success and bring them back to base safe and sound.
