MULTI-MISSION COLLABORATION

Important results from the project

The aim was to collect, process and analyse data from different sources to create a comprehensive real-time situational picture. This is important for civilian and military users and was validated in a test environment. The aim was to create a demonstrator for joint handling of video and still image data from several reconnaissance systems on aircraft and drones. Joint handling of video and image information from several different reconnaissance systems was demonstrated in a test environment.

Expected long term effects

The most important result of the project was that it contributed to Spacemetric receiving an order from the Swedish Armed Forces (FM) to adapt Keystone´s image data management to NATO´s FMN methodology. The work project carried out contributed to this, as did the "publicity" within FM that the project gave rise to. The order is important for Sweden. The adaptation of the image data management to the FMN methodology is the first step towards FM being able to exchange intelligence with NATO.

Approach and implementation

The work focused on: - being able to collect data from many data links - creating a unified situational picture - distributing the unified situational picture via the NATO methodology Federated Mission Networking. The work went largely according to plan, and the activities were "right activities". No external factors significantly affected the project. The project was implemented only within Spacemetric, so the cooperation problems were insignificant.
