US Space Force increases efforts to plug training capabilities gaps
The service has been seeking simulation and emulation solutions capable of reproducing multiple in-orbit threats.
ITT Corporation has released version 3.7.1 of its adLib Video and Data Management Software.
adLib has revolutionized situational awareness by enabling users to capture, manage, and disseminate full-motion video and intelligence information in near real time while optimizing system interoperability and bandwidth use.
"The release of v3.7.1 adLib improves the usability of critical full-motion video and intelligence information across the enterprise regardless of bandwidth," said Brian Raymond, chief scientist, ITT Geospatial Systems.
adLib's v3.7.1 features a new "trickplay" capability with digital video recorder-like video controls, which allows time shifting of live streams (i.e., pause, rewind, fast-forward, frame forward and backward). This enables users to go back in time and analyze recent video frames within a 10-minute buffer. Other new capabilities include the plotting of visual indicators of live assets on key visualization and exploitation tools used in theater via Cursor-on-Target messages and Keyhole Markup Language links for Google Earth. A geo-RSS subscription link is also provided as another mechanism for quickly identifying live video assets.
"ITT Geospatial Systems continues to focus on delivering standards-based solutions that enable our users to search, discover and exploit geospatial intelligence, pushing the performance envelopes of bandwidth and timeliness," said Danny Rajan, director of ITT's Geospatial Information Solutions business. "adLib and our other products, including the Enhanced Agile Access solution, are enabling our soldiers to have assured access to imagery and full-motion video information within their existing infrastructure while maintaining interoperability."

The service has been seeking simulation and emulation solutions capable of reproducing multiple in-orbit threats.
The service has been conducting several acquisition and upgrading efforts involving artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve communication, data analysis and ISR systems.
The Syracuse 4B communications satellite, developed by Airbus and Thales Alenia Space, was launched last year, bolstering secure military satellite communications for the French Armed Forces. Thales has now been selected to provide terminals for vehicles.
The growing importance of space in modern warfare, advancements in satellite technology, and increasing threats from rivals like China and Russia were among the topics of a Eurosatory 2024 panel on military space operations.
AN/ARC-232A is a Starfire radio that provides VHF/UHF communications to airborne platforms and the transceiver is software-programmable, allowing for multiple waveform support as well as optional national electronic counter counter-measure (ECCM) capability.
During the 18-month period of the contract, Lockheed Martin will apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to create surrogate models of aircraft, sensors, electronic warfare and weapons within dynamic and operationally representative environments.
