System integrates data from diverse unrelated sources to provide
comprehensive real time battlefield intelligence on a personal computer
CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- (Farnborough International
Airshow). Goodrich Corporation's (NYSE: GR) new personal computer- (PC)
based Intelligence Reference Library (IRL) software has proven its
capability to integrate data from a number of unrelated systems into a
comprehensive real time battlefield snapshot, day or night. The software is
produced by Goodrich's ISR Systems team in Malvern, UK.
IRL's proprietary software simultaneously catalogues and meshes data
from a number of diverse sources such as the Goodrich DB-110 reconnaissance
pod as well as non-Goodrich synthetic aperture radar, full motion video,
and other sensors. As the sensors focus on a mission-specific geographic
location, IRL formulates an extremely accurate "imagery intelligence
picture" of actionable data on a ground-based work station or handheld PC.
The system operates over a relatively narrow communication bandwidth, and
provides detailed information on a wide range of target sets.
Tom Bergeron, President, ISR Systems at Goodrich, said, "Recent testing
of our IRL in combination with new ground station display technology has
proved that this integrated system can provide our troops with the complete
information they need to be successful, day and night, in combat operations
worldwide. This low-risk solution works with fixed or mobile ground
stations, and is designed for maximum flexibility at an affordable price."
Goodrich will display IRL's capabilities at the 2008 Farnborough Air
Show.
