DEFENCE AND SPACE Intelligence RECCE Touch Software Providing Real-Time Results to the Brazilian Navy Case Study Challenge Solution Benefits A software solution capable Airbus developed RECCE Touchscreen interface of rapid and reliable object Touch software, which allows for real-time surveillance, identification in a harsh real-time on-board object with night and day display on-board environment, recognition. modes, and low resource to be operated in low- consumption. light conditions without a keyboard or mouse. Recce Touch console top screen Recce Touch console bottom screen Challenge Solution and Results Solution Description When the Brazilian Navy requested mobile To meet these challenging requirements, The new RECCE Touch software allows the target recognition software – capable of Airbus Defence and Space developed RECCE Brazilian Navy to perform real-time on-board providing real-time results – be included in Touch. The unique software is an on-board object recognition, thanks to a very intuitive its contract for eight new H225 helicopters, version of the popular semi-automatic interface and a database already containing Helibras (Airbus Helicopters Brazilian recognition tool, RECCE Engine®, which is more than 1,500 objects. This successful subsidiary) turned to Airbus Defence and already operational in over 50 organisations first implementation of RECCE Touch paves Space. worldwide, and has been purchased by the the way to other applications on-board Brazilian Navy to equip its headquarters. helicopters, planes, vessels or armoured The brief called for a solution capable of RECCE Touch integrates seamlessly with vehicles in the very near future. rapid and reliable object identification in a RECCE Engine® but has been specifically harsh on-board environment, and operated designed to be effective in harsh conditions without a keyboard or mouse – all in low-light and can operate via a touch-enabled conditions. The software also had to work ruggedised laptop or the on-board console. with touch sensitive responsive screens, and be implemented on the existing SAMSARA During mission preparation, preferred equipped mission management console. recognition keys and databases are exported from RECCE Engine to the RECCE Touch console. During the mission, the on-board operator uses RECCE Touch to identify – in real time – all targets already present in the database. Recognition is rendered easier by the use of an intuitive man-machine interface (MMI) and efficient tools for targets not available in the database. Photographic images are also captured during the mission to further enrich intelligence databases and RECCE Engine®, thus contributing to knowledge capitalisation.
