The TECA edge processing device uses emerging artificial intelligence techniques to provide an aided target recognition (AiTR) solution.
- Designed for the Army’s Nett Warrior (NW) system
- Input is a Motion Industry Standards Board (MISB) video stream, such as the FLIR Black Hornet (BH) Unmanned Aerial System (UAS)
- Output is a MISB video stream with Key Length Value (KLV) encoded target information as well as associated cursor-on-target (CoT) messages
- TECA is a small, lightweight, passively cooled electronic device with streamlined external features and interfaces
- Supplied with Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) plugin
