• project oversight with logistics and support,

• Data/intelligence analysis and processing,

• Role equipment including:

  • electro-optical infra-red (EO/IR) full motion video (FMV),

ISR isn’t just for governments and militaries for use in combat or to fight terrorism. Border protection, Police enforcement, Maritime Costguard Agency and the fisheries agency to name a few have an increasing need to understand exactly what is going on in their jurisdiction. Commercial and non-governmental organisations are starting to see the benefits of ISR too.

From crime, piracy, poaching and the protection of commercial companies interests in large-scale agriculture, fishing, gas and oil, there is a need and a benefit to manned ISR.
