Generating intelligence can require the creation of data in near real-time.  For example, forest fire bosses need to know where the fire is located in rugged terrain in order to deploy their aerial tankers and ground teams.  All of this information is changing minute-by-minute and frequently is difficult to gather because of smoke obscuration.

Terra-Vista can customize aircraft and RPV based systems which will gather raw imagery and create digital imagery from a variety of sensors- for example, a thermal imaging device that can accurately define the boundaries of a forest fire. The raw data generated by these sensors is then converted into a digital photomap that can be combined with variety of other data such as road networks, location of known hazards, and real time meteorology overlays.

The photomaps can then be used by decision makers in the field and/or at a centralized command-and-control facility.  Ultimately, the raw data becomes information that becomes intelligence when interpreted by knowledgeable interpreters.  In this enhanced and simplified form, the intelligence can then be distributed to field personnel accompanied by an action plan.

Every surveillance system is highly customized, so contact Terra-Vista for more details and to discuss a specific system configuration.
