Press Releases

November 14th, 2007

(ARLINGTON, VA) – Logos Technologies, Inc. announced today that it successfully completed a project for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in support of the Urban Challenge robotic-vehicle competition held in Victorville, CA on November 3.  Logos operated an airborne system that orbited above the event while imaging and recording the entire area twice per second at 1 foot resolution. Five terabytes of data was recorded and is of sufficient fidelity to continuously monitor vehicles at the event. A high-bandwidth data-link with the orbiting aircraft provided real-time control of 15 independently locatable image streams demonstrating the ability of one specially equipped aircraft to equal the capability of 10 or more conventionally equipped aircraft. All recorded and real-time imagery from the Logos system is processed to remove motion and aspect-angle effects making displayed image streams appear as though they were collected from stationary platform fixed above a moving or stationary area of interest. DARPA used Logos imagery during the event to continuously monitor competing vehicles and to maintain synoptic situation awareness from start to finish, a span of nearly nine hours. DARPA also used stored Logos imagery to review the details of some vehicle interactions after the event. Logos designed, built, and operated the airborne sensor system, which functioned as a data server for real-time users, and the ground station, which was used for exploitation, control, and data dissemination. L3 Communications provided the data link that supported real-time access to the aircraft, P-V Labs provided the stabilized airborne-sensor gimbal, and CRI provided integration support.
