SCALABLE VIDEO DISSEMINATION
From headquarters to edge deployments, COMPASS adapts to diverse operational needs. With its tiered deployment model—Advanced, Pro, and Remote—users can deploy COMPASS in a wide range of scenarios, whether it’s supporting high-volume feeds at a regional hub or enabling video streaming from tactical kits in austere environments. Our platform integrates seamlessly with existing systems, collecting and consolidating intelligence from multiple sources to give you a comprehensive, real-time operating picture across the globe.
AIRBORNE ISR CAPABILITIES
Harness the power of NTS's cutting-edge technologies to streamline airborne ISR video delivery. Designed for the dynamic and demanding needs of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations, our COMPASS and APEX solutions ensure seamless video distribution, empowering decision-makers with real-time intelligence.
Tactical Video Recording: Save and archive mission-critical video for post-mission analysis.
Command-Level Access: Distribute real-time airborne ISR video from UAVs to command centers with one-click functionality.
Edge-to-HQ Video Sharing: Connect tactical devices with HQ for seamless video transmission and collaboration.
HORIZONTAL ISR CAPABILITIES
NTS's COMPASS streamlines video surveillance with simple connectivity to the growing number of ground based video sensors used for remote surveillance, force protection, event management, and installation security. Centralize all of your video sources into one video distribution platform.
Centralized Management: Share surveillance camera video feeds between video management systems and traditional overhead ISR video distribution systems.
Enhanced Flexibility: Compatible with diverse video sensors and devices across multiple networks, ensuring seamless interoperability.
Automated Connectivity: ONVIF Compliant and can automatically discover and connect to surveillance cameras for quick, automated video integration.
Advanced Detection: Use motion detection to enable real-time alerts, reduce storage costs, and monitor efficiently by capturing only relevant activity.
CROSS-DOMAIN DATA INTEGRATION
Video sharing across secure domains is critical for timely decision-making and operational success. The Compass platform addresses these challenges by providing a robust, secure, and efficient solution for cross-domain data integration, enabling mission-critical operations to proceed without delays or compromises.
Data Remediation: COMPASS will identify and enhance the malformed KLV so that the FMV passes through cross domain guards applying strict NSA rulesets, in an automated fashion, reducing user complexity (MISB 0601/STANAG 4609).
Cloud Transfer: Unclass video feeds (e.g., cameras, drones, or surveillance systems) are distributed to the cloud in real-time and securely transferred to classified networks for intelligence analysis, situational awareness, and rapid decisions.
COT Data Transfer: Position metadata from radios and TAK devices are aggregated and routed to classified networks for an improved high-side common operational picture.
REAL-TIME ISR + INTERAGENCY OPS
We deliver real-time airborne ISR video through the Compass platform. By integrating advanced technologies, NTS ensures secure, high-bandwidth live video transmission to the cloud, enabling situational awareness, coordinated interdictions, and seamless intelligence sharing with coalition agencies to combat threats like drug trafficking.
Compass streamlines interagency collaboration by enabling real-time sharing of intelligence and surveillance video across defense, law enforcement, and coalition partners. Its cloud-based architecture ensures easy access to live video feeds and critical evidence, supported by features like user-based permissions, simplified workflows for video clips, and metadata remediation for secure information sharing across networks.
Compass enables horizontal ISR video distribution, connecting tactical and enterprise systems for real-time sharing. It integrates with ground-based surveillance sensors and systems for remote monitoring, force protection, event management, and installation security. Designed to simplify workflows, Compass delivers dynamic, efficient video sharing across teams and platforms, even in the most demanding environments.
AUTOMATED VIDEO DISTRIBUTION
When building the next generation of unmanned ISR platforms and robotic systems, designing with the end goal in mind is essential – delivery of real-time video to operators, analysts, and decision-makers. By embedding COMPASS into a sensor payload, system integrators create an end-to-end video distribution system from the payload to the enterprise.
Flexible Deployment: Embed COMPASS on low size, weight, and power computing devices ranging from a Raspberry Pi to an NVIDIA Jetson.
Optimize Bandwidth: Transcode video to optimal settings for traversal over tactical communications links.
Seamless Connectivity: Link COMPASS nodes together to distribute video securely and reliably across the entire video ecosystem.
