U.S. Army New EchoStorm Technology

MDAR is a new video solution that provides U.S. soldiers and Army tactical operation centers new mobility in processing data and high-resolution situational awareness video on demand.
The mobile device is designed to withstand the harshest of weather, and its unique shape was custom-designed to fit into existing U.S. Army One System Ground Control Stations. MDAR was developed for the U.S. Army, U.S. Marines, and other ground forces to give soldiers in the field instant, searchable access to up to 30 days of archived data and full-motion video from a variety of unmanned aircraft vehicles -- such as Shadow, Hunter, Predator, and others. Initial production units of MDAR will be installed in AAI Corporation's ground control stations that will be used by the Shadow UAS.
MDAR includes EchoStorm's advanced adLib software for video and data management. "Many describe MDAR as a digital video recorder with highly-advanced capabilities," said Jason Barton, EchoStorm Co-Founder. "Users can improve the sharing and extraction of intelligence from video using many features including pausing or rewinding live and archived video, creating snapshots, tagging video for later retrieval, and easily reviewing previous videos of target locations."
EchoStorm Worldwide LLC has a suite of secure, net-centric technology -- adLib, the proven, easy-to-use, adaptable, input-friendly software at the center of its technology; Convene, a dynamic chalkboard-style collaboration tool; and FunnelCloud, a rugged, nomadic, rapid-response wireless technology. The combined technology suite enables users to capture, manage, and disseminate video, images, voice, and data in near real time regardless of location, bandwidth, or device.
