Wide-Area Motion Imagery (WAMI) for Integrator
RedKite® Block II is a small electro-optical system capable of monitoring a city-sized area in real time.
BlackKite® takes your city-wide search from day to night using Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR).
Enables wide-area monitoring
Monitors 10 mi² (16 km²) area within line-of-sight range of the GCS
Onboard data storage
RedKite offers up to 8 hours of mission data (11 hours for BlackKite) onboard vehicle supporting real-time or historical data
Real-time alerts
User-defined “watchboxes” provide sensor operators with automated alerts when items of interest move in/out for real-time tracking

Cross cue
Support cross-cueing to Integrator’s primary FMV turret for higher resolution interrogation of subjects of interest.
Support multiple operators
Support multiple sensor operators with up to 10 video streams at once, each viewing independent streams. Geospatial and temporal bookmarking allows users to mark and share locations.
Automated detection alerts
User-defined “watchboxes” provide sensor operators with automated alerts when items of interest move in/out for real-time tracking.
Simultaneous target detection
Detect, track, and label geographically dispersed still or moving targets.
Forensic Analysis
Operators can rewind imagery in forensic mode to trace targets to their points of origin and review events.
RedKite and BlackKite are integrated and tested in collaboration between Insitu and Logos Technologies.
