A situational awareness platform providing location reporting, data visualization, and a real-time common operational picture for deployed teams. Echelon SA supports peer-to-peer, ad-hoc networking through existing radio/communications assets without reliance on pre-planned or fixed infrastructure, enabling effective command and control thereby extending radius of operations. Typical uses and applications include border/area security, expeditionary and counter-insurgency tasks.

Common Operational Picture
The Echelon SA platform provides a simple, open standards solution to connect deployed users to sensors, information systems and each other while operating at the tactical edge. Commercial, Android-based technology creates a common operational picture between headquarters and deployed users enabling the visualization, overlay and fusion of data from multiple sources. Precise location designation provides geospatial context of subjects of interest with integrated chat capability between teams.

Communications and Data Fusion
Tactical connectivity is the core of the Echelon SA concept. Integration to existing HF/ VHF radio, SATCOM, GSM technologies and fusion of sensor, video and image data provides seamless data transfer and transparency to ground-users. Android-based, software functionality provides full control and monitoring of attached radios. Peer-to-peer topology between headquarters and deployed teams provides overlay of enterprise data with real-time tactical information, critical to mission coordination.

System Deployment
The Echelon SA system provides a complete suite of products to support any deployment platform including personnel, vehicle and base. Modular, rugged design and a low Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) approach enables deployment of high power computing technology to the tactical edge.
