Gatekeeper on the Move
Gatekeeper on the Move (GOTM) was developed under the direction of SPAWAR Atlantic (NIWC), and ASTERIA under the direction of NAWCAD Weapons Division. These baseline systems provide next generation multi-modal biometric access and are at various stages of Test and Evaluation. The baseline GOTM system architecture is comprised of four system spirals known as Biometrics, Video Intelligence and Social Media, Long Distance Facial Identification, and Threat Detection for explosives. As of mid-year 2019 GOTM-B systems are deployed in the CENTCOM AOR for further test and evaluation.
VIDINT
Video Intelligence or VIDINT is designed for Next-Generation Military Operations & Intelligence Analysis. Its purpose is to simultaneously mine and assimilate multiple “best-of-breed” video analytics (biometrics, objects, behaviors, scenes, geospatial, etc.) from video. This systems uses high-performance computing concepts so that end-users can extract actionable intelligence in less time than current systems. VIDINT also allows intelligence analysts to significantly increase the amount of video mined.
