BRITE View -
Near Real-Time Tactical Exploitation of Imagery and SIGINT

KEY FEATURES/USER BENEFITS


Overview
BRITE View is a PC-based reach back, smart push-pull geospatial information system that gives deployed users the ability to exploit at the SECRET level, high resolution national reconnaissance satellite and theater airborne imagery within minutes of collection; and real time SIGINT and "Blue Force" tracking information.

BRITE View empowers an operator with capabilities to receive and graphically display the real time SIGINT and "Blue Force" tracking data in his AOI; and to command a remote imagery server to automatically disseminate (push) to him, notifications (footprints) of the current imagery collected in the area. The imagery footprints are overlaid with the SIGINT and "Blue Force" data on the BRITE View map display. The user graphically selects an area (chip) within the footprint of an image of interest and commands the system to reach back to the server and pull the chip of imagery from the image of interest. The server automatically extracts, and pushes the chip (now at the SECRET level) to the user. The chip is delivered to the user in a standard NGA NITF format, and can be displayed in a window or overlaid on a map with real-time ELINT and "Blue Force" information.
