Mission systems providers Smith Myers, CarteNav, and Teledyne have teamed up with simulation specialist JD2E to demonstrate integrated mission system training. On display this week during the Paris Air Show, JD2E’s Deployable Mission Operation Station (DMOS) combines Smith Myers’ ARTEMIS system with CarteNav’s Advanced Integrated Multi-sensing Surveillance (AIMS-ISR) mission software and the Teledyne FLIR Star Safire series airborne sensor.
DMOS combines real-time mass cellular handset identification and tracking through Artemis, augmented-reality mapping overlays via AIMS-ISR, and automated sensor steering with the Safire airborne sensor.
The demonstration at Paris is designed to show the real-world synergy between the mission-critical components, as well as the versatility of the applications. This includes maritime, border control, disaster relief, aerial firefighting, and search-and-rescue missions.
Noting that more than 100 aircrews have already trained on the JD2E DMOS with a fully integrated ARTEMIS system, Smith Myers managing director Andrew Munro said, “The integration exemplifies how advanced technology can enhance mission success across diverse environments.”
“AIMS-ISR has long been integrated with ARTEMIS and Teledyne FLIR’s advanced sensor solutions, providing operators a single local operating picture to simplify complex operations and do their critical jobs even better,” added&nbsp;Scott Richardson, v-p of product for CarteNav.
