ISR COLLECTION & EXPLOITATION SYSTEM (ICE)
The ISR Collection & Exploitation (ICE) system is a network centric solution to store, catalogue, exploit, analyse and disseminate full motion video (FMV), Still Imagery, reports and metadata. ICE provides valuable Intelligence at any level in the command structure. ICE is a cost effective solution that will meet the requirements and will improve the overall responsiveness to intelligence requirements.
Data storage and cataloguing
In addition to the obvious advantages of organising and cataloguing intelligence data in a local database, the ICE architecture enables additional benefits;
The mission equipment architecture is based on a fully-integrated set of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) computer systems with the overall design and individual components chosen to provide the optimum solution for performance, cost-effectiveness, maintainability and upgradability.
- The architecture enables any user with a networked workstation to discover and request specific data based on powerful searches. This offers the potential for rapid tactical dissemination and interoperability within the organization or with external partners.
- The architecture mitigates against data deluge by enabling deployed tactical or strategic users to search for and request data they require “Smart pull” rather than the current systems using “dumb push” of all data, which wastes valuable bandwidth and swamps the user with irrelevant information.
- The ICE architecture already provides a networked capability between the workstations and databases. ICE is designed using commercial techniques to enable further expansion of the network via additional workstations.

Powerful Search and Retrieval
The powerful, integrated, client-based search and retrieval capabilities allow multiple users to find products across distributed libraries to support rapid mission planning and operation, strategic analysis and intelligence preparation.
The user-friendly interface provides geographical search functions and overlay for results onto a local or WMS geographic map.

Image and video Exploitation
The image exploitation system is at the forefront of Geospatial ISR data screening and Exploitation technology for still and video Imagery. The system has been designed to screen large volumes of EO/IR imagery and live video streams presenting the exploiter as much information as possible in near-real-time.
Windows and layout are flexible, with a typical layout providing a main window displaying the imagery along with any enhancements, graphical overlays, annotations, Region of Interest and Image comparison/fusion. Next to this is a slaved map window displaying the tracking map along
A suite of tools are provided including horizontal and vertical mensuration, geo-correction, counting, annotating and symbology. All annotations are non-destructive and may be moved, edited and deleted after placement. Annotations may be saved separately with the image or burnt into the image.
A reports package is fully integrated to allow for fully manually or semi-automated report forms. Reports can be saved in several formats e.g. XML, PDF, ADatP-3. Stored reports can be queried with the search client.
