  • ENHANCED SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND TARGETING (eSAT) SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20120019522
    Abstract: eSAT pushes 3D scene awareness and targeting to forward positioned mobile operators and their handheld devices in environments such as found in military theaters of operation, border control and enforcement, police operations, search & rescue and large commercial industrial operations. A host computer hosts a 3D model of a scene and dynamically captures and transmits a windowed portion of the visual representation of that 3D model over a wireless network to the mobile operators' handheld devices. The windowed portion of the visual representation is streamed directly to the operators' handheld device displays. The mobile operators may interact with and control the 3D model via the wireless network. The host computer may synthesize the visual representation of the 3D model with live feeds from one or more of the handheld devices or other assets to improve situational awareness.
