Defense – From Rugged Airborne Recorders to Advanced Data Mining

Defense has been a keystone of AudioSoft’s focus since its inception and many of the world’s armed forces and system integrators use our equipment. Our rugged digital recorders are suitable for airborne, naval and land-based operation and utilize environmentally qualified COTS equipment to provide low cost of ownership combined with ease of maintenance, upgrade and support. With a software architecture that supports scalability and flexible configuration, we are able to meet a wide variety of operational requirements from simple communications monitoring to complex data mining tasks. Our team of highly experienced project managers and system integration engineers are recruited directly from the defense sector, providing a high level of operational understanding of our customers’ requirements. Your particular requirement is paramount and our highly consultative approach ensures that whatever the size or complexity of your recording and analysis requirement, AudioSoft has the solution.

Record

AudioSoft’s rugged AudioPC recorders are environmentally qualified to meet a range of severe EMC, vibration, shock, pressure, temperature and humidity requirements. AudioPC records data from a wide range of sources including radios, networks, IP, telephony (analog and digital), facsimile, serial data, operator screens, sonar and radar. All can be synchronously recorded in a single digital data recording system. Our consultative approach allows us to tailor AudioPC into the most appropriate configuration for your requirement, from a simple standalone system to a fully integrated equipment set with client/server implementation. Our Service Orientated Architecture (SOA) and Application Programmable Interfaces (API) allow for easy third-party integration. Recorded data can be stored locally on fault-tolerant RAID solutions, archived to removable media and/or stored centrally on network-attached storage (NAS) devices. AudioSoft’s mission-critical heartbeat health monitoring technology, SNMP communication and built-in test facilities allow AudioPC to be left unmanned with alarms delivered automatically to the designated supervisor / maintenance personnel via e-mail or cellphone.

Analyze

AudioSoft’s Medirva product includes best-in-class audio analytic tools to allow rapid identification of important information that may be buried within thousands of hours of recordings. By using our unique algorithm to determine whether automatic or manual analysis techniques will provide the best, Medirva provides a real benefit to supervisors and analysts. Automated audio analytic capabilities include: speech detection, key word spotting, speaker-independent speech to text, speaker ID, language ID, language translation and auto gisting. Manual facilities include graphical analysis, FFT, band pass filters and subtractive filtering. By combining automatic analytic innovation, simplified methods for manual manipulation and comprehensive workflow management, Medirva reduces costs by ensuring that valuable resources are used efficiently with significantly improved operational capability.

Visualize

AudioSoft offer many graphical and visual display options to aid users in quickly recognizing relationships between recorded data. From timeline graphical displays of recording activity to integrated map displays with GPS data, our solutions allow our customers to better understand and promptly act upon recorded data through the use of visualization. This approach significantly reduces the cost and time taken to analyze the many recordings you may have accumulated. Through optimization of recording, analysis and visualization, AudioSoft provides solutions that deliver dramatic returns on investment and significantly improved operational performance.
