US DoD GOES FOR OSTREAM FOR ENHANCED SECURITY
The US Department of Defense (DoD) has confirmed it is deploying a new software and data transport system as part of optimising and managing Vision AI security across its port network. The supplier of the new system is OStream and the product selected is the company’s Percept service offering.
The US DoD has previously utilised video analytics as its preferred tool for port security, but the growth in AI options has resulted in the change. Now, OStream’s software means it is possible for real-time analytics to be maintained and stored in a secure, private database. Moreover, the Percept hub option allows the US DoD to fully integrate any camera in any location to over 300 different market AI services.
Alan Jaeger, Director of the NavalX Ventura TechBridge, Department of the US Navy, explains the benefits and rationale behind the DoD ecision: “Vision AI is a strategic initiative at many sites, including the Port of Hueneme. OStream has proven that its data infrastructure products facilitate smooth integration of cameras to hundreds of different leading AI providers. The agility to leverage new IoT style cameras as well as existing video feeds is an appealing proposition.”
The US DoD has also confirmed that it has selected Percept AI service partners to act as providers for object detection, tracking and correlation, while OStream continues to support the US Navy on other research and development projects.
