What is VTA? 

Track the movement of target vehicles and personnel in real-time


With data from imagery now so vast, operators can find themselves trying to maintain situational awareness through a deluge of information. We designed an application that reduces operator fatigue by automatically alerting and cueing the movement of vehicles and personnel.

VTA highlights motion and provides an alert, simultaneously referencing as tracks on a map. It eases the exploitation process to an operator and reduces the time taken to generate a useable intelligence product. The system aids in maintaining Information Advantage by assisting operators who are already under pressure, during high tempo operations by making sense of a complex intelligence picture.
