Troops in the field can now access intelligence data, including video, on commercial off-the-shelf smartphones and tablets running Google Android operating systems thanks to L-3 Interstate Electronics' new VideoScout App.
The VideoScout App enables users to receive and display full-motion video and metadata utilising local area network connections and shared intelligence resources, including other VideoScout devices, remote sensors, network-centric collaboration servers and intelligence collection nodes. L-3 will be demonstrating the VideoScout App using real-time data daily during the Paris air show.
The VideoScout App provides end users with timely situational awareness in dynamic and ultra-mobile scenarios, including counter-insurgency operations, said L-3. It includes intelligence tools such as moving maps and allows access to data networking via private and commercial cellular, wi-fi and mesh networks, while providing information security using AES software encryption.
