Change-Bitrate-on-the-Fly Technology Supports Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Across Complex Wireless Environments

The ability to ensure high-quality images, regardless of network conditions in a theatre of operations, has emerged as a critical success factor for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) activities that depend on video-based intelligence to establish situational awareness and support effective decision-making. This is because missions are rarely executed in controlled laboratory environments. Quite the opposite, says Mark Rushton, global defence and security lead at VITEC, a leader in the Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) technology community.

BTR Roundtable: Culture of Automation, Standardization and Ad-Hoc Collaboration Emerges as Key to Success in ISR Applications Across Emergency Management Operations

BizTechReports presents an open and industry-focused conversation on the role of ISR in providing support for emergency management agencies as well as the hurdles in the way of accelerated adoption. Our panel of experts explore the latest evolutions in ISR technologies and how these systems can be rapidly deployed by prospective agencies. We also identify the various stakeholders within the target audience groups of ISR technologies providers and some best practices for how the ISR community can work together to identify and engage with emergency management agencies.

Evolving Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Technologies Poised to Enhance Emergency Management

Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) technologies have long been used to aid the military in finding, fixing, and tracking friendly and hostile elements, as well as assessing damage to targets in areas of interest. While these technologies are recognized as essential tools for the execution of complex military operations, they are now gaining traction as a key element for a vast array of emergency management scenarios.

Emergency Managers Integrate MANET Technology into ISR Platforms for Public Safety Communication Solutions; TrellisWare

Beyond providing eyes and ears on situations that are either impractical or too dangerous for direct human observation, ISR systems are using unmanned technology platforms to provide critical ad-hoc connectivity when existing infrastructure is compromised, says Kevin Thompson, director of public safety for TrellisWare, a provider of mobile ad-hoc networks solutions, in a podcast interview with BizTechReports.

How Emerging ISR Technologies Supported by Mobile AdHoc Networks Enhance Emergency Response Operations

Emergency management agencies (EMAs) have their hands full as the intensity, frequency, and volatility of natural and man-made disasters rise across the United States. According to the National Centers for Environmental Information, the U.S. sustained 16 weather and climate disasters during 2020, resulting in damages researchers say exceeded $22 billion in that year alone.
