Abstract:	Full Motion Video (FMV), as a subset of Imagery Intelligence (IMINT), is an important accelerator in the Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, and Assess (F2T2EA) process. It can provide behavioral cues for a target that are difficult to discern from still images or non-visual sensor reporting alone. But, the natural form of video has several problems: it is cumbersome to review; it is bandwidth intensive to distribute; and it is not smartly integrated with a Common Operational Picture (COP). In addition, when it comes to supporting Time Sensitive Targeting (TST), slow analytical processes result in missed opportunities This Multi-Source Imagery and Geopositional Exploitation (MSIGE) SBIR response makes near real-time assessment, alerting and reporting between Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and IMINT easier to perform. The proposed solution will provide innovative techniques to rapidly correlate geopositional data with FMV.
Benefits:	For DoD, the MSIGE solution will fulfill the SIGINT war fighter's function to impact the Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, and Assess (F2T2EA) cycle by combining high-resolution imagery, live UAS video streams, and SIGINT or multi-INT geospatial reports. Further, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) already uses UAS platforms for its border patrol efforts along U.S. borders to track people and vehicles. The MSIGE solution can directly assist that effort. FMV is used extensively by first responders during an incident. The MSIGE solution can provide a variety of tools to annotation FMV with meaning overlays and distribute that information in near-real time between multiple first responder organizations.
