[Satellite TODAY 05-30-13] ITT Exelis, a global aerospace, defense, information and technical services company, will make its Jagwire solution for the management and dissemination of tactical imagery and video available on a mobile platform. Jagwire mobile allows users, such as soldiers operating in environments where bandwidth is limited, to capture, process and rapidly access imagery and data from remote networks.

 

    "The Exelis Jagwire solution provides warfighters one seamless user interface to search, discover and exploit still imagery, wide-area motion imagery and full-motion video, which improves decision making and response when seconds are critical,” Jim Phillips, director of the Exelis geospatial intelligence solutions business area, said in a statement.

 

    The solution offers similar functionality of the Jagwire enterprise version, which is important for users in bandwidth-constricted or hostile areas. Taking advantage of advanced data compression techniques, Jagwire mobile allows video and image capture as well as processing into the Jagwire repository where the imagery is indexed and becomes searchable by other users on shared networks. The mobile version of Jagwire supports Android 4.1.1 and higher. Support for iOS 6 and HTML5 will be available later this year.
