< Back PureTech Systems Clinches Dual Platinum Govies Awards from SecurityToday Apr 2, 2024 Phoenix, Ariz – PureTech Systems, known for its advanced geospatial AI-boosted video analytics for critical infrastructure and border security, is excited to announce the winning of two Platinum Govies Awards for their PureActiv AlertView Command and Control (COP) and PureActiv geospatial AI-boosted video analytics with Magos Radars. These awards highlight the company's dedication to improving safety and operational effectiveness. The PureActiv AlertView Command and Control (COP) system has earned PureTech Systems the first Platinum Award in the Security Integration Software category. The PureActiv AlertView COP provides security professionals with accurate and reliable real-time alarms, geolocations of live tracks, and video of suspicious activity in outdoor and remote environments while minimizing nuisance alarms. AlertView’s intuitive user-interface highlights PureActiv geospatial AI-boosted video analytics with robust integration features including advanced object detection, AI classification, and tracking displayed on a geographic map, automated camera steering, scalable video distribution, intrusion detection sensor integrations, and automated security policy response. Additionally, in the Perimeter Protection category, the proven combination of PureTech's PureActiv geospatial AI-boosted video analytics with Magos Radars has brought home the second Platinum Award. This marriage of technologies utilizes the location data of a detected object of interest, provided by Magos radars, and PureActiv geospatial AI-boosted video analytics for object classification and to autonomously invoke PTZ auto-follow for continuous tracking, while simultaneously alerting the operator of potential auto-verified threats. This robust layered approach to perimeter and border protection acts as a tremendous force multiplier by filtering out any nuisance alarms prior to bringing a human in the loop. Larry Bowe, President & CEO of PureTech Systems, expresses his enthusiasm: "We are thrilled to be recognized by the Govies Awards from SecurityToday. This honor reflects our continuous drive for innovation and our unwavering commitment to protect people and assets." Adding to the accolades, Yaron Zussman, General Manager of Magos America Inc., commented, "Our alliance with PureTech Systems illustrates the power of combining leading-edge technologies to create superior security solutions.

< Back Transitioning Command and Control platforms to C4ISR Systems. Jun 14, 2022 An article written by Ilia Rosenberg, VP of the Federal Sector was picked up by GIT-Security EMEA , on the topic of transitioning command and control platforms to C4ISR systems. Ilia goes into detail on the lessons learned, as well as a general view and key features of an autonomous C4ISR. Until recently creating a new enterprise C4ISR system, be it Army, Navy, Air Force, or Department of Homeland Security, utilized the same deterministic systems engineering approach. In the last several years the use of AI and Machine Learning (ML) in surveillance systems has become widespread, often with good success, but sometimes with mixed results. As PureTech have observed in recorded surveillance photos and videos, adversarial methods and techniques are sometimes able to defeat the standard AI/ML trained neural networks for example by altering target shapes or adding layers of clothing to humans to become low observables. It is no surprise that to address the standard “Detect-Track-Classify” problem a more sophisticated approach extending beyond AI/ML is imperative. The current DoD Digital Strategyguidelines are embedded in PureTech Systems PureActiv software based architecture as well as in individual security designs that were have used successfully in the US and internationally. Working with DOD JAIC (Joint Artificial Intelligence Center [ https://www.ai.mil/about.html ]) since 2016 provided an early understanding of many of these guidelines and techniques. One of JAIC early recommendations was to not only put bounding boxes around detected objects, but also record relevant metadata to deliver more information for the mission and later trend analysis. PureTech were able to implement and test these recommendations at field installations, continually refining the software algorithms including taking advantage of sensor correlation.​ Lessons Learned By leveraging such sensor and data correlation, PureActiv C4ISR hosted on edge devices and/or servers can receive detections and tracks from multiple sensors such as motion analytics, radars, and fence, ground and subterranean sensors and then autonomously command PTZ cameras and/or dispatch UASs, and UGVs to go “inspect” the detected targets to automatically confirm target types before issuing alarms, i.e. provide auto-verification. This robust approach also combines our geospatial video analytics with AI/DL and radar tracks to disambiguate the objects of interest. This allows the system to eliminate a substantial, up to 95%, amount of nuisance alarms while maintaining a very high detection rate. Another important lesson that PureTech takes to heart is the AI-assurance. It’s important to remind ourselves that AI can do wrong things and it can learn wrong things. That is why PureTech Systems continuously validates the confidence level of the system through robust and continuous ground truth regression testing. The General View and Key Features of An Autonomous C4ISR In this example screenshot, objects of interest are automatically detected, tracked (upper left and lower left side of the screen) and classified by AI/DL as people, conveyance, and UAV and displayed on the digital terrain map with the correct GIS coordinates in real time (upper right side). Alarms are displayed in the lower right with a still image and looping video of the alarm and the pertinent live camera. The decision of target classification is made autonomously without human interaction. In addition to gradual improvement in sensors’ performances, such as cameras and radars ranges and sensitivities, PureTech recently integrated three relatively new capabilities and made them available to DHS and CBP in particular. These included Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK), small drones (sUAS) detection, and counter-UAS systems. The same C4ISR package shown above fully supports autonomous counter UAS operations after a combination of the air surveillance radars and high-speed, wideband RF scanner for detection and classification of signals in congested spectrum environments were integrated. Since adversaries use sUAS for smuggling illegal drugs over the border, an integrated counter-UAS capability available where such activity is occurring is badly needed. In addition, C4ISR systems that provide ground and UAS tracking including recording track metadata can server as a tool to learn about smuggling corridors and patterns of drug cartels’ operations. According to Tim Bennett the program manager for air domain awareness at the Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate whose job is devoted to detecting, tracking, and countering drones, “Narcodrones a new big problem that we all have to address. It isn’t just DHS. It’s across all agencies in our government and all governments in the world ( https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/narcodrones-180974934/).” ATAK is quickly becoming a force multiplier for many agencies by enabling cross collaboration between individual agents, teams, and central command. ATAK becomes an extension of the autonomous command and control by communicating data from and to the field including geolocations, media, and tactical information that is immediately actionable and disseminated across one or more areas of responsibility. All information that is available at the C4ISR level (left picture above) can be displayed on ATAK devices (right picture), whether it is installed on a Windows laptops or Android devices.​ In conclusion, it is worth noting that in every C4ISR autonomous subsystem and operation is designed to aide, not replace human capabilities. Whether used as a battlefield command and control or border security common operational picture, one of the key goals is to augment the warfighter’s or law enforcement agent’s reasoning skills with an autonomous decision-making systems. Ultimately autonomy reduces cognitive load by filtering nuisance alarms and prioritizing information flow for action. This enables agencies to dramatically reduce operational resources while maintaining mission effectiveness. As former Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson once said, “The advantage will go to those who create the best technologies and who integrate and field them in creative operational ways that provide military advantages.
