Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., developer and manufacturer of leading air, sea, and land defense solutions, will unveil the Imilite, a new, multi-sensor, multi-platform intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) Exploitation System. The unveiling will be made at the Land Warfare Conference (LWC) in Australia in mid-November.
ImiLite is a cost-effective intelligence system designed to receive process and exploit multiple standalone imagery video and other intelligence data in a centralized and a unified way.
Main system capability includes the reception, processing and exploitation of EO, IR, SAR/GMTI and VIDEO, in various formats, over one desktop. In order to enhance the exploitation process, ImiLite further combines non-imagery data such as targets, threats, COMINT detection and mission status within the system workflow. ImiLite generates a variety of standard and customer tailored ISR reports and IMINT products such as alphanumeric reports, annotated maps, GIS data layers and visual aids, and disseminates them to external information and operation systems over standard and tailored protocols.
ImiLite's multi-source data integration and automation capabilities improve the efficiency of utilizing available collection and exploitation assets. The system GIS capabilities provide immediate accessibility to relevant imagery and intelligence data, thus shortening the ISR collection and exploitation cycle.
The ImiLite is based on Rafael's combat-proven ISR and C4I systems already in service worldwide. ImiLite is designed for use by Defense forces (air, ground) and police forces exercising various observation means for border patrol or coping with urban crime.
Haim Jacobovitz, Corporate VP and General Manager of Network-Centric Warfare Sector at Rafael: "ImiLite's advanced ISR exploitation capabilities provide defense and police forces a leading edge in dealing with today's intelligence collection and processing demands. ImiLite joins Rafael's battle-proven C4ISR solutions to complement its vast variety of other advanced defense systems in use by dozens of customers around the world."
