L-3’s Interstate Electronics Corp.

L-3’s Interstate Electronics Corp. is bringing full-motion video and data generated by aerial platforms into the hands of ground-level troops via smartphones using Google’s Android operating system. The latest version of its Video Scout system is being demonstrated here at the Paris Air Show (Static F186) using real-time data from L-3 Wescam MX-15i and MX-10 sensors.

Video Scout has been available some time on a ruggedized MC2 laptop. Users can connect with fellow personnel via local area networks and shared intelligence resources, including other Video Scout units, remote sensors, network-centric collaboration servers and intelligence connection nodes.
