Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) imagery systems generate huge volumes of data, ranging from high resolution digital images to Full Motion Video (FMV) and require a large operator effort to fully analyse and exploit.

MOD is seeking automatic and semi-autonomous tools / techniques to ease operator workload in the processing & exploitation of imagery data in high-data throughput environments.

The new tools / techniques should address the full range of their activities which may include image registration, cueing of targets of interest, feature extraction, recognition & identification of targets, archiving / retrieval of products and be capable of being applied within existing ISR systems and standards.

At this briefing MOD will outline the background and the problems faced in this sector and challenge attendees to develop innovative solutions.

Following the seminar on 23rd July, MOD is seeking proposals for short and focused demonstrations and proof of principle (PoP) of innovative technologies and applications that will significantly ease high volume ISR operator workload

Proposals need to be submitted online to CDE by 3rd September 2009. Successful proposals should receive a contract award within a few weeks leading to demonstration of their proof of principle within 3-4 months after contract award.
