FlySight Integrates OPENSIGHT with AXNES PNG Wireless Intercom to Enhance Mission Coordination and Safety

In a continuous development for surveillance and special operations, FlySight and Axnes proudly announce the successful integration of its OPENSIGHT Mission Console with the PNG Wireless Intercom (WICS) by AXNES. This integration marks a significant step forward in operational coordination and safety for teams in demanding environments. The integration allows for seamless communication and GPS data transfer between FlySight OPENSIGHT Mission Console and crewmembers that are equipped with the Axnes MP30 or MP50 handheld transceiver. By interfacing the Axnes PNG WICS with FlySight OPENSIGHT Mission Console, situational awareness and mission safety are greatly increased. It allows the operator on board the aircraft to see where is crewmembers are on the ground while at the same time providing clear, handsfree full dublex communication with them, as the Axnes PNG is the Wireless InterCom System extension to the wired intercom loop. Through the integration with FlySight's OPENSIGHT Mission Console, the Advanced MP30 or MP50 PNG Tranceiver capabilities are significantly enhanced. This integration allows for seamless communication and data exchange between the AXNES PNG handset transceiver equipped team members and the mission control console aboard the helicopter or at the ground control station.

How it works

The OPENSIGHT Mission Console seamlessly integrates with Axnes' base station the Base Station 50, which receives GPS information from the MP30 or MP50 PNG Transceivers and sends it to the OPENSIGHT Mission Console using the NMEA standard or Axnes' proprietary format. It then processes this information, allowing it to be directly displayed on the operator's screen onboard. This allows operators to see where their crewmembers are on the ground, while at the same time having the opportunity to communicate clearly with them. OPENSIGHT leverages the onboard Axnes kit to provide information in an augmented reality environment, enabling an optimal Geospatial Situational Awareness on onboard tactical displays.

Key Benefits

• Enhanced Surveillance Operations: Teams can coordinate more effectively, with the ability to receive crucial Augmented Reality information directly through the OPENSIGHT Mission Console.
• Improved Team Coordination: The integration facilitates a higher level of situational awareness and operational coordination, essential for the success of surveillance missions and control team operations.
• Increased Safety and Efficiency: The ability to exchange position data and other critical information in real-time ensures that teams can operate more safely and respond more quickly to evolving situations.

PNG WICS

The Axnes PNG Wireless Intercom System (WICS) provides unparalleled audio clarity, enabling seamless communication between aircrew, ground personnel, and other search and rescue teams. The system's intuitive interface and real-time, full-duplex, handsfree, VOX operated handheld, increases situational awareness, facilitates swift decision-making, enhancing mission success and ensuring the safety of all involved.

The PNG Mission Wireless Intercom allows operators to keep communicating on the intercom at all times. It doesn’t matter if they are in the cabin or outside, a couple of kilometers away from the aircraft. In addition to being a wireless intercom the PNG WICS can transfer data to the FlySight OPENSIGHT Mission Console allowing operators to see their crew members, as well as maintaining communication. We are excited to announce a successful integration with FlySight OPENSIGHT Mission Console as it greatly increased mission safety, something we at Axnes regard as paramount to any helicopter operation.

OPENSIGHT

OPENSIGHT Mission Console is specifically designed to support payload operators in airborne scenarios, with the aim to conduct the mission more smoothly and efficiently. An Augmented Reality engine, capable of handling multiple high resolution video flows, improves the geospatial situational awareness of the operator by the superposition of multiple synthetic information layers. No need to switch to the moving map anymore: all the information is displayed directly over the video for a better mission effectiveness.

Features

? Video processing algorithms for image enhancement (equalization, expansion, saturation, dehazing, fog suppression, super resolution)

? Augmented Reality engine for real-time vector overlay superimposition (works with custom user data)

? 3D Moving map with multiple layers support and real-time video-over-map projection

? Geodatabase functionality for direct and inverse geocoding

? Full touchscreen HMI for quick and effective interaction with the operator

? Automatic target detection and classification (Artificial Intelligence networks specialized for maritime and airborne threats)

Taking integration to the next level, the OPENSIGHT Mission Console is exceptionally agile and quick to integrate into any mission system. This is made possible through the Open Code provided to OPENSIGHT Software Development Kit (OPENSIGHT-sdk) users.

The Open Code , a unique template crafted by FlySight developers, optimizes the implementation of OPENSIGHT-mc. It not only enhances usability but also unlocks the full potential of OPENSIGHT for the entire user community. Users can effortlessly build upon the established solution, customizing, updating, and enhancing capabilities with ease and speed.
