  • Publication number: 20250142289
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, are described for implementing a mission space platform. The platform is configured to identify radio frequency (RF) signals and analytics and generate a graphical interface with a map of a geographic area, where the map includes multiple grid points. For one or more RF signals: the platform determines a respective geolocation of an emitter that emits the RF signal and assigns the RF signal and its corresponding emitter to a grid point of the map based on the respective geolocation. Visual characteristics of grid points in the map are dynamically adjusted, in real time, base on new RF information about the area. The new RF information is provided as an output at the interface by displaying adjustments to the visual characteristics of the grid points.

  • Patent number: 9286720
    Abstract: An exemplary system and method are disclosed for providing a combined video stream with geospatial information. Embodiments use a visualization tool to synchronize information in a virtual camera with attributes, such as video frames, from a physical camera. Once the camera position information is supplied to the visualization tool, the visualization tool retrieves geospatial data, such as terrain features, man made features, and time sensitive event data, and transforms the camera position information into a coordinate system of the virtual camera. The visualization tool uses the coordinate system of the virtual camera to generate geospatial snapshots. Embodiments use locative video software to combine the video frames from the physical camera with the geospatial snapshots from the virtual camera to generate a combined video stream, which provides a single view of multiple types of data to enhance an operator's ability to conduct surveillance and analysis missions.
