Source summary
Develop an integrated decision-support system that replaces isolated manufacturer consoles with a central, real-time view of authorised video, sensor feeds and equipment health from many tethered and untethered Army drones. It must use a secure mesh network, show simultaneous feeds on a common geospatial interface, support AI video analytics, scale to existing and future UAS, deploy by vehicle or personnel, and provide encrypted information to local commanders and higher headquarters. Sensitive operational and targeting details are intentionally omitted.
