SAN DIEGO & WESTMINSTER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BAE Systems Geospatial eXploitation Products<\/a>\u2122 (GXP\u00ae) and Vantor, the leading provider of unified spatial intelligence, today announced that they will be providing advanced intelligence and targeting capabilities for contested electronic warfare (EW) environments. This delivery integrates part of Vantor\u2019s Raptor<\/a>, a vision-based software suite that enables autonomous systems to navigate, orient, and extract accurate ground coordinates without relying on GPS, with the GXP software ecosystem, ensuring intelligence continuity when sensors are degraded.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nIn modern conflict zones, the proliferation of inexpensive unmanned aerial systems (UAS) with equally low-quality sensors, in addition to widespread GPS spoofing and jamming, have rendered traditional drone video collection unreliable. Significant metadata drift in tactical video feeds leads to \"targeting paralysis\": high-quality imagery is available, but the underlying geographic coordinates are too inaccurate for precision activities.<\/p>

\nTo solve this, Raptor Sync georegisters the full-motion video feed from the drone\u2019s on-board camera with Vantor\u2019s 3D terrain data<\/a> in real-time, enabling downstream GXP intelligence fusion, multi-domain interoperability across different sensors, and accurate ground coordinate extraction at a demonstrated absolute accuracy of <3 m. This system enables previously impossible intelligence and targeting workflows.<\/p>

\n\u201cIn contested environments, the sensor's imagery and video collections are only half the battle; the accuracy of the data it produces is what determines mission success,\u201d said Kurt de Venecia, Sr. Director of Product Development at BAE Systems GXP. \u201cBy including Raptor directly into our GXP intelligence workflows, we are providing analysts with the ability to maintain absolute targeting confidence, even when the platform\u2019s systems or inertial sensors lack high absolute accuracy.\u201d<\/p>

\nInjecting corrected Key-Length-Value (KLV) metadata from Raptor directly into the drone\u2019s video stream at the edge enhances accuracy prior to exploitation in GXP software. This overrides inaccurate telemetry, enabling analysts using GXP solutions to extract weapon-quality coordinates and execute intelligence and targeting missions in real time.<\/p>

\n\u201cAnalysts cannot afford to lose confidence in where a target actually is,\u201d said Paul Millhouse, Sr. Director Raptor Products at Vantor. \u201cBy using Raptor to correct video before it enters the GXP Ecosystem, we\u2019re enhancing the performance of existing and new drone fleets. The result is a more resilient workflow for extracting accurate ground coordinates and maintaining operational tempo.\u201d<\/p>
