Mission Applications

Overhead Persistent Infrared

Kratos develops applications to support missile warning. This includes the ability to detect, track, process, visualize, fuse, and report events of interest using data from the nation’s overhead persistent infrared (OPIR) satellite systems to aid the military and other government organizations in their missions.

Modular software is utilized to design and deliver frequent updates to operators and analysts. The high-fidelity data from the Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) satellites is processed into contrast-enhanced videos and image products, XML messages compatible with external Common Operational Picture software, and PDF summary and trending reports.

Current Solutions

• SBIRS wideband data-processing tools that provide operators with new capabilities and innovative ways to use SBIRS data to support other missions
• New mission capabilities for enhanced battlespace awareness and near real-time information to special forces
• Development of external sensor fusion for more accurate data on the events of interest
• Machine-learning approaches leveraged to refine algorithms, resulting in reduced false detections and false tracks

Kratos develops the Enhanced Wideband Imagery Tool (EWIT). We are also part of the Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution (FORGE) Mission Data Processing Applications Provider (MDPAP) development effort. Contact us to learn more about our capabilities.
