Patriot   

The Patriot software suite is designed to provide the “End User” with powerful Situational Awareness Tools specifically designed for use on mobile devices.   Patriot architecture is much easier to adapt to a variety of hardware platforms (including mobile Personal Electronic Devices (PED’s) such as Android, IPhone, and their associated tablet PC’s).  Patriot has been designed to run on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.  Patriot is easily configurable and can be made interoperable with many of the current fielded systems.   

Patriot provides the ability to perform pre-mission planning (including map management), mission briefing, mission execution, evidence management,  and post mission data management (archive, index, & recall).  Patriot assists the end-user to rapidly transition between all phases of the mission cycle. 
      Functionalities provided by the application’s Multi-Media Engine are:    
  • Audio Engine – Audio stream encoding and decoding of AAC, AC-3, MP2, MP3, QCELP, QDM2, RealAudio, Windows Media.  Speech to Text
  • Crypto Engine – High speed stream ciphers, AES, block ciphers, message authentication, hash functions, public-key and padding schemes, key agreement schemes, and elliptical curve cryptography.
  • Terrain Engine – Supports DTED 1 and 2, SRTM.  Terrain processing: slope shading, intervisibility analysis, terrain profiles, line-of-sight.
  • Imaging Engine – 3D video, 2D/3D target tracking, extraction of 3D buildings, scene analysis.
  • Globe Engine – 2D/3D display of SA overlays on map/image backgrounds.  Display of 3D structures such as buildings and targets.  Compatible with fusion of 3D sensor data
  • Street Engine – Supports NAVTEQ and Open Street Map, for ground route planning and rerouting during navigation.
  • Team SA Chat – Text messages, automated reporting, project updates, telestration (Madden draw), and sharing SA.
  • SA Engine – Manages GRG grids and labels, airspace, weapons, targets, video, audio, users, local points, drawings, route planning, and navigation.
  • Comm Server – Supports FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, GOPHER, TELNET, DICT, FILE, LDAP, UDP, TCP/IP.  Standard protocols: Cursor-On-Target, KML/KMZ, XML
  • Python Scripting Engine – full scripting engine for application configuration, demonstration, and testing.
  • User Interface (UI) Engine – provides user interface functionality that exploits OpenGL while not dependent on operating system.
  • Diagnostics – logging, built-in test, fault isolation
  • Plug-In Manager – framework for including third-party and customer functionality.

     Map Manager     

Technology Fusion has developed a map manager that enables an end user to easily and quickly index all available maps/imagery, determine which maps are available for a given area of the world, and export those designated maps to the end user’s desired destination (hard drive, thumb drive, etc.).     

Map Manager enables the end-user to view and manage SA data (maps, imagery, terrain, video, audio, points-of-interest (POIs), 3D models, routes, etc.) from local and remote repositories.  Uses proprietary indexing technology that does not use database technology.     Map Manager works directly with CADRG, CIB, USGS DOQ, ECW, GeoTiff, MrSID and NITF formats. Full map indexing and map management functionality.  Interface to WMS map servers.     Current raster map support includes:
CADRG Compressed ARC (equal Arc second Raster Chart/map) Digitized Raster Graphics (ADRG) in National Imagery Transmission Format Standard (NITFS)-compliant Raster Product Format (RPF) achieving a nominal 55:1 compression over ADRG. Supported map scales are:

OSM Open StreetMap (OSM) – database geographic data including roads, waterways, and cities of the entire world. All data is free.
NAVTEQ Provides detailed road network information such as turn restrictions, physical barriers, and restricted road access for navigation systems with coverage throught Europe and North America.
ESRI Shape Files File format for geographic information in the form of geospatial vectors. A shape file consists of three file types: a shape format (.shp) file that contains the vector geometry, an data base file (.dbf) that contains attributes about the vector data, and an index file (.shx) that enables faster access to the vector data.
Images:
TIFF Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) is a format for storing images.
JPEG Joint Photograhics Experts Group (JPEG) is method of storing photograhpic images using lossly compression. JPEG typically achieves a 10:1 compression ratio.
GIF Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format for storing photograhpic.
PNG Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a bitmap image format that uses lossless data compression. PNG is intended to be a replacement of GIF.
Bitmap MS Windows Device Independent Bitmaps.
JPEG 2000 JPEG 2000 is a wavelet-based image compression standard. Similar in performance to JPEG, but provide more flexibiliy in streaming.
Interoperability:
FalconView FalconView is a mapping system created by Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI).
Google Earth Google Earth (GE) is a virtual global with geographic information on map and imagery backgrounds.
Bing Maps Bing Maps (perviously Microsoft Virtual Earth) is similar to GE.
ARCGIS ARCGIS Desktop software suite available from ESRI.

     GEO Video Player (GVP)    

Geo Video Player (GVP) provides the ability to play live SA and SA On Demand as a standalone application or a plug in to a 3rd Party Application.  Interfaces to the SA Server via the Application Interface.

  SA On Demand    

    

Team-Link    

Team Link allows Blue Force tracking capability with Android phones which report their positions to Patriot.  Current capabilities include Encryption, Team Chat, group SMS messaging, and variable location updates rates.         

Patriot Mobile  

 

Patriot Mobile is the addition of maps to Team Link and will be optimized for personal electronic devices (PED) initially on Android devices (including tablets) and will transition to include Apple (IPhones and IPads).
