Exelis to feature enhanced CorvusEye 500 analytics capabilities at Unmanned Systems 05

Exelis to feature enhanced CorvusEye 1500 analytics capabilities at Unmanned Systems 2015 ATLANTA, May 5, 2015 - Exelis (NYSE: XLS) (booth #2449) has improved the way its CorvusEye 1500 wide-area airborne system processes and analyzes the vast amount of data it collects, which is crucial in helping customers make critical decisions. CorvusEye 1500 is one of the programs Exelis is featuring at Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) Unmanned Systems 2015 in Atlanta May 4-8. From an altitude of 15,000 feet, CorvusEye 1500 provides color and infrared imagery of a city-sized area unavailable with comparable airborne systems.

Click to tweet: With advanced analytics, @ExelisInc #CorvusEye #Unmanned15 now puts a citywide picture in context for better decision-making.

Its all about context, said Dwight Greenlee, director, regional persistent surveillance, Exelis Geospatial Systems. Conventional video surveillance systems with their soda straw views can miss critical activities, making it hard to understand whats happening over a wide area. CorvusEye now has real-time analytics that automate certain tasks. For example, users can set watch boxes or trip wires in as many as 10 areas of interest. Users are then alerted if anything moves in or out of that area, and they can automatically track that moving object. Because of the context provided by CorvusEye, users can be more confident in the data to make decisions.

Another new capability in CorvusEye is the ability to cue a second sensor, such as a hyperspectral sensor, to scan a location for certain spectral signatures indicating the presence of a material or gas. Analysts also can easily integrate full motion video sensors into the cueing capability.

Processing CorvusEye data post-flight provides analysts with a database of all moving objects in the entire scene, allowing them to gather critical forensic intelligence and enabling a better understanding of behaviors and patterns across the region. At Unmanned Systems 2015, visitors will see how users work with the real-time analytics and processed data to search for vehicle tracks based on location and time.

At 15 inches in diameter and weighing less than 95 pounds, the CorvusEye turret and sensor package can fit on most midsize unmanned and manned aircraft and uses standard interfaces to swap into virtually any 15-inch airframe mounting location. CorvusEye is exportable to many military, intelligence and security customers around the world.
