The Collaborative Command and Control (C2), Visualization, and Alarming module (C2VA) is a GIS-based, real-time web platform designed to significantly enhance operational collaboration, situational awareness, and decision-making capabilities within the BORDERFORCE system. It serves as the primary interface for diverse operational roles, seamlessly integrating and visualizing various data sources to provide an enriched operational picture.
Key features include:
• Real-time visualization and continuous updating interactive maps enriched with detailed environmental and terrain data, facilitating rapid orientation and situational awareness.
• Comprehensive integration of data streams from a wide range of sources, including ground-based sensors, UAVs, satellite imagery, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and external geospatial services such as terrain models, weather forecasts, and relevant contextual data.
• Role-based user interface enabling customized access and tailored functionalities for various user groups including border security operators, administrators, risk analysis experts, and other specialized personnel.
• Advanced interactive tools enabling users to pan, zoom, annotate, and manipulate geospatial visualizations efficiently.
• Advanced alert management capability with automated, real-time visualization of sensor-generated alerts, multimedia content such as images, audio, and video, as well as security incidents and dynamic map annotations. Alerts can be prioritized based on severity and importance, enhancing quick response and coordination.
Current capabilities of the system:
• Comprehensive oversight facilitated through integrated, multi-source data fusion, allowing operators to maintain robust situational awareness across operational domains and geographic areas.
• Interactive and user-friendly map interface designed specifically for real-time operational monitoring, detailed event tracking, and precise geo-referenced visualization.
• Efficient, intuitive visualization and playback of multimedia sensor data, security alerts, and incidents, enhancing user comprehension and operational responsiveness.
• Flexibility to toggle and layer multiple data streams including detailed topographical features, real-time sensor positioning and tracking, dynamic weather conditions, satellite imagery, and external contextual information.
• Advanced customization and management of operational data visualization tailored to individual or mission-specific requirements, significantly enhancing the accuracy and speed of the decision-making process.
• Integration with external data services, continuously updating the visualization and ensuring that operators always have access to the most recent and relevant information, including predictive data such as weather forecasts, wind speeds, snow levels, and flight plans.
