USAF tactical personnel require the ability to harness & use the vast amount of imagery streaming down from the F-35’s Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS) and the Active Electronically Steered Array (AESA) targeting payloads. Currently, the EOTS/AESA systems provide remarkable real-time situational awareness and targeting ability to F-35 pilots and related support personnel. However, flight operators and boots-on-the-ground users are unable to harness this imagery for real-time tactical operations. PixElement in collaboration with CrowdAI propose to design & develop TAPOS: Targeting of AI-selected Photogrammetric Objects and Sights. TAPOS is a cloud computing architecture package that will stream geospatially accurate 3D-models and adversary threats (vehicles, ships, and planes) to flight operators, via the Mission Data Files (MDF), and boots-on-the-ground personal electronic devices (PEDs). TAPOS will fuse PixElement’s cloud-native photogrammetric 3D modeling capabilities into CrowdAI’s AI-enabled object identificat
