WIDE-AREA MOTION IMAGERY SENSOR

WHAT IS WIDE-AREA MOTION IMAGERY (WAMI)

MISSION-CRITICAL INTELLIGENCE

WAMI provides users with persistent surveillance over an area of interest and contains more information for analysts to see what’s happening in real time. This helps users understand a surveillance situation and its complexities. WAMI adds context to signals intelligence by creating a visual picture of the surveillance situation in both real-time and forensic. This allows for detailed analysis of events, networks and patterns of life. Collecting WAMI enables tracking with high-resolution color and infrared motion imagery to: > Observe vehicle tracks and traffic > Study patterns of life > Identify nodes of activity and anomalous behavior > Utilize patterns and trends to anticipate behavior

L3Harris’ WAMI solution is enabling its users by providing mission-critical intelligence. This intelligence supports the ability to tag, track and locate in real time, thus allowing for rapid decision making. WAMI includes:

PROCESSOR

Processor

17 in x 12.25 in x 12.75 in

Onboard processing and downlink capabilities speed up the time between data collection and the analysts’ dashboard. The processor combined with the WAMI sensor payload provides a superior real-time actionable product in both day and night. Baseline features: Real-time stitching and mosaicking of area-of-interest views; additional independent controlled (roam and zoom) views simultaneously in real time, with storage and forensic access to the entire mission; full synoptic view; NITF 2.1 and JPEG 2000 encoded images; real-time full field of view (FOV) tracking.

BORDER PROTECTION

DISASTER RESPONSE

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND EVENT SECURITY

MILITARY OPERATIONS

WAMI provides information to monitor border-crossing activity during refugee migrations from political unrest. Illegal trade activity and mass migration due to water scarcity or crop failure can also be monitored.

BORDER PROTECTION

WAMI quickly provides insight across large areas hit by natural disasters, allowing users to understand areas of human distress and dispatch help where it is needed most.

DISASTER RESPONSE

WAMI provides persistent surveillance at and around public events and critical infrastructure. This vital information can help local authorities keep people safe.

CIVIL INFRASTRUCTURE/EVENT SECURITY

WAMI provides critical data to mission operations by providing actionable intelligence in real time.

MILITARY OPERATIONS

MONITOR A CITY-SIZED AREA DAY OR NIGHT

TRACES ROUTES TO DISCOVER INTERCONNECTED PATTERNS OF LIFE

USE CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION TO TAKE EFFECTIVE ACTION

The system can be integrated on multiple platforms that include both manned and unmanned aircraft. The data can be configured to meet the datalink requirements of each platform.

L3Harris’ WAMI sensors are platform agnostic and feature a standard 15-inch bolt-in design. Low size, weight and power requirements allow for rapid and seamless aircraft installation.
