ING Engineering introduces the first system capable of delivering a synthetic UAV video feed with embedded metadata that is NATO STANAG 4609 compliant. Enhancing Simlat's world-leading STS-Pro UAV simulator, this new product permits digital network distribution of synthetic UAV video feeds with their critical metadata that any NATO 4609-compliant C4ISR exploitation system can use.

With a system that fits in a backpack, it is now possible to simulate any UAV mission and distribute the airborne ISR payload view with its context to any user on a network. In real time, commanders with their staffs and analysts can train together to exploit full motion video (FMV) with its critical metadata in their own 4609-compliant viewers and imagery analysis tools of choice; conducting operations and intelligence missions. Yuval Peshin, Simlat CEO, said, "This new capability makes it effortless to plug-and-play synthetic UAVs into command, operations, and intelligence networks for training and mission rehearsal. This is valuable not only for our NATO customers but also for anyone who adopts this open digital video standard, such as law enforcement."
