TerraSight™ SGS

The Standard Ground Station (SGS) is built on Sarnoff’s TerraSight software, providing real-time video in context over 3D terrain models of the earth. This solution integrates multiple sensor and video feeds for command, control and collaboration in the surveillance of hostile forces. The system’s unprecedented level of control and collaboration between operators and mission commanders enables real-time decision making, ensuring our warfighters maintain their edge over the enemy. Commanders on the ground are able to use the SGS for processing video to track enemy forces using many cameras, while accessing data from the most effective sensor.
