Boeing acquires 2d3 Sensing
Boeing has acquired OMG's wholly-owned subsidiary 2d3 Sensing, which specialises in motion imagery processing of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance data generated from aerial platforms.
Boeing subsidiary Insitu already uses 2d3 Sensing's products on the ScanEagle and Integrator UAS. With this acquisition, 2d3 Sensing's video analysis and other capabilities will be further integrated into Insitu and other Boeing platforms.
2d3 Sensing's services and software is used by the US Air Force and other commercial and government customers.
Steve Nordlund, vice president, unmanned airborne systems, Boeing, said: 'This supports our effort to differentiate our platforms and services with integrated information solutions.'
Ryan Hartman, president and CEO, Insitu, said: 'Insitu has a long history with 2d3 and by integrating them into the team, we can further leverage the unique capabilities the company offers.
'The services they provide highlight ways in which computer vision and image processing technologies can be used to enhance and analyse full motion video data captured and recorded during live missions. We look forward to incorporating such improvements into our unmanned vehicles.'
