Persistent Surveillance Division
Logos’ Persistent Surveillance Division focuses on three primary areas supporting the Intelligence Community (IC), Department of Defense (DoD), and law enforcement organization:
-
Developing sensors for broad-area persistent surveillance, including daylight and nighttime sensors and color sensors.
-
Developing exploitation tools to harvest intelligence value from imagery collected via sensors, including real-time and forensics exploitation as well as data compression for transmittal over sm aller communications lines and storage in smaller spaces.
-
Performing rapid prototyping and integration for flight testing new hardware and capabilities.
We are developing a comprehensive exploitation tool suite (including next-generation sensors for persistent surveillance) for multiple intelligence data sources fused with wide-area persistent surveillance data.
Some of our current programs include:
- Constant Hawk operations support for TCDL stations in Afghanistan.
- Development and deployment of Kestrel wide area persistent surveillance aerostat compatible systems.
- Development of our Abstracted Fusion™ analysis tool for processing wide area persistent surveillance data to automatically identify suspect behaviors
- Systems integration for data collection, exercise based training, and image processing for the USG.
- Tailoring persistent surveillance systems for the Customs & Border Protection (CBP) system.
- Development of a web application security platform (WASP).
Domain expertise:
We developed aerial surveillance data-gathering platforms that warfighters use daily in-theatre. We integrate new data acquisition systems and exploitation tool kits into payload packages, and we are integrating our system with another team member’s to create a single, integrated viewer with real-time data link capability—allowing our client to view data as it’s collected, rather than hours later. This program represents the first use of this new type of surveillance in a theatre of war. Teammates include Air Cargo Carriers, P-V Labs, and L-3 Communications.
We work with the IC to develop and demonstrate advanced prototypical systems that go beyond current state-of-the-art systems. We are designing and operating a multiple-intelligence source collection exercise with numerous contractors that will allow our client to collect intelligence concurrently from many sources regarding the same geographic area and fuse the information to provide more complete situational overviews that trace backwards to their originating source(s). Teammates include Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Northrop Grumman, L-3 Communications, and the IC.
For IC aerial intelligence gathering exercises, we hold an unsurpassed record of being “on station” collecting data as scheduled. No other company can claim our 100% on-station record during intense simulated terrorist attacks.
We are building a persistent surveillance exploitation toolkit that can aggregate numerous intelligence data sources stretching back many years to form a more complete picture of intelligence questions.We are incorporating this toolkit into a larger tool set designed to exploit other types of intelligence products and provide dramatically improved intelligence-gathering ability and working data linkage. Teammates include ITT, Harris, and MITRE.
We are projecting post-war Middle East persistent surveillance requirements, determining how terrain will appear, anticipating essential capabilities, and working to design and build corresponding persistent surveillance capability now.
Awards
Our team members were co-winners of the 2007 R&D 100 Award for the Best 100 New Inventions of 2006 and the Army’s Best Ten Inventions Award for 2007.
