Mediaware Wins Defence Contract For D-Vex Digital
Mediaware Wins Defence Contract for D-Vex Digital
July 24th, 2006: Digital video exploitation developer Mediaware will provide D-Vex for unmanned operations by the Australian Department of Defence (DOD).
Mediaware’s D-VEX allows real-time video intelligence from airborne craft to be captured, transmitted and interpreted. Mediaware says this enables situational analysis to be completed from live video streams. The company is confident that D-Vex Digital video will allow the department to exploit video from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operations.
“In recent years, Mediaware has become the de facto standard for video exploitation and processing in the US ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) community. However, this is Mediaware's first significant system sale into Australian Defence and is recognition of the company’s global leadership in digital video systems, and a sign of the Department of Defence’s support for local industry”, says Chris Newell, CEO of Mediaware.
The D-VEX system will enable ADF personnel to remotely observe maritime surveillance operations. They will access both live and recorded video footage over the Defence intranet, be able to create mosaic imagery on demand, and accurately identify where the aircraft and sensor are working, using Mediaware’s web portal and dissemination software.
