Wide-Area Motion Imagery (WAMI) for Integrator

RedKite® Block II is a small electro-optical system capable of monitoring a city-sized area in real time.
BlackKite® takes your city-wide search from day to night using Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR).

Enables wide-area monitoring

Monitors 10 mi² (16 km²) area within line-of-sight range of the GCS

Onboard data storage

RedKite offers up to 8 hours of mission data (11 hours for BlackKite) onboard vehicle supporting real-time or historical data

Real-time alerts

User-defined “watchboxes” provide sensor operators with automated alerts when items of interest move in/out for real-time tracking

Cross cue

Support cross-cueing to Integrator’s primary FMV turret for higher resolution interrogation of subjects of interest.

Support multiple operators

Support multiple sensor operators with up to 10 video streams at once, each viewing independent streams. Geospatial and temporal bookmarking allows users to mark and share locations.

Automated detection alerts

User-defined “watchboxes” provide sensor operators with automated alerts when items of interest move in/out for real-time tracking.

Simultaneous target detection

Detect, track, and label geographically dispersed still or moving targets.

Forensic Analysis

Operators can rewind imagery in forensic mode to trace targets to their points of origin and review events.

RedKite and BlackKite are integrated and tested in collaboration between Insitu and Logos Technologies.
