TAC-MAAS complements existing ground control and mission planning software by providing efficient analysis, reporting capabilities, archiving and data management. It provides operators with easy-to-use tools to derive, manage and distribute critical intelligence gathered by ISR platforms for immediate tactical advantage.

Improve Situational Awareness

TAC-MAAS helps operators gain better situational awareness and ensures critical events are not overlooked by providing low latency video display, instant replay and moving map.

Instant Access Enables Fast Reporting

TAC-MAAS supports Phase 0 and Phase 1 imagery analysis, providing tools to allow operators to exploit live imagery and to communicate intelligence as situations develop, using map chips and georeferenced images.

Automated Target Indication

Options for integrated automated target indication from Sentient Vision Systems (Kestrel Land MTI and Kestrel Maritime)*, makes it easier for analysts to detect, analyze and report on targets and events.

Benefits

• Rapid fielding with any UAV or manned surveillance platform
• Sensor agnostic
• Speeds up mission tempo
• Improves imagery interpretation 
• Reduces operator fatigue
• Enhances situational awareness

TAC-MAAS maximizes the value extracted from flight imagery by providing a searchable, georeferenced video library. Gaining deeper insights into your area of operation is accelerated with the end-to-end data management workflows of TAC-MAAS that condense thousands of hours of mission data and allow users to efficiently author post-flight intelligence products.

Ground-Based Video Replay

TAC-MAAS provides a ground-based, off-platform replay system for multi-channel flight recorders and tactical computers. TAC-MAAS complements existing on-platform systems with efficient on-the-ground analysis, reporting, cataloguing and archiving capabilities.

Perform Detailed Post-Mission Event Analysis

TAC-MAAS provides Phase 2 and Phase 3 post-mission imagery exploitation and reporting. It allows operators to instantly search for and retrieve the precise event of interest out of thousands of hours of video.

Create Reports For Timely Information Sharing

TAC-MAAS accelerates the generation of mission presentations, efficiently condensing hours of flight time into minutes of actionable intelligence using highlight videos, snapshots, map chips and annotations.

Facilitate Training And Mission Lessons

Imagery from every mission can be returned for assessment and training purposes, used for informing new arrivals and ensuring valuable field experience doesn’t disappear with every troop rotation.

Ensure Retention Of Video Evidence

Keep video and metadata from every mission in long-term storage for on-going investigations, event and location crossreferencing and legally mandated archiving requirements.

Benefits

• Facilitates detailed forensic analysis
• Enables identification and reporting of geo-coordinates
• Strengthens collaboration and access to mission-sensitive information
• Scales to meet operational needs
• Intuitive interface fast tracks operator training
• Internationally available
