• System integrates
data from diverse unrelated sources to provide comprehensive
real time battlefield intelligence on a personal computer
Goodrich Corporation’s new personal computer-
(PC) based Intelligence Reference Library (IRL) software
has proven its capability to integrate data from a number
of unrelated systems into a comprehensive real time
battlefield snapshot, day or night. The software is
produced by Goodrich’s ISR Systems team in Malvern,
UK.
IRL’s proprietary software simultaneously catalogues and meshes data from a number of diverse sources such as the Goodrich DB-110 reconnaissance pod as well as non-Goodrich synthetic aperture radar, full motion video, and other sensors. As the sensors focus on a mission-specific geographic location, IRL formulates an extremely accurate “imagery intelligence picture” of actionable data on a ground-based work station or handheld PC. The system operates over a relatively narrow communication bandwidth, and provides detailed information on a wide range of target sets.
Tom Bergeron, President, ISR Systems at Goodrich, said, “Recent testing of our IRL in combination with new ground station display technology has proved that this integrated system can provide our troops with the complete information they need to be successful, day and night, in combat operations worldwide. This low-risk solution works with fixed or mobile ground stations, and is designed for maximum flexibility at an affordable price.”
Goodrich will display IRL’s capabilities at the 2008 Farnborough
Airshow.
