GEOINT 2022 attendees invited to experience
Sit(x) demo featuring analytics of Ukraine
PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE: PAR) today announced that its
wholly-owned subsidiary PAR Government Systems Corporation (PGSC)
has incorporated BlackSky’s (NYSE: BKSY) commercial satellite data
into the Sit(x)™ cloud-native situational awareness suite making it
possible for tactical and operational end users to access near
real-time imagery on the Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) mobile
platform.
“As the name implies, Sit(x) can handle the situational
awareness demands of any situation,” said PAR Government President
Michael Nelson. “Sit(x) helps front-line commanders and warfighters
make faster and better decisions by enabling two-way sharing of
vital information. We are thrilled to team up with BlackSky and add
their phenomenal space-based image products into the same tactical
devices in use by over a quarter million people today.”
“Customers experience a force-multiplying first-to-know
advantage with BlackSky’s proprietary high-revisit satellite
constellation,” said BlackSky Chief Revenue Officer J.R. Riordan.
“Together with PAR Government we’re improving the tactical ISR
experience by providing insights and real-time analytics to those
serving on the front lines when they need it most.”
Incorporating BlackSky imagery and derived products into Sit(x)
is one of the first steps in turning the server into a geospatial
data marketplace where users can access a variety of commercial
imagery sources as near real-time base maps and other digital
data.
At GEOINT 2022 participants can experience how Sit(x) displays
the real-time locations of personnel and resources overlaid on a
high-resolution multispectral BlackSky satellite image of Ukraine.
To participate in the demo, attendees are invited to download the
ATAK app and the companion app Sit(x) TeamConnect On-The-Go (OTG)
from the Google Play Store, or Sit(x) for iOS from the Apple App
Store to their mobile devices where they can view imagery and
communicate with other GEOINT attendees.
The Sit(x) demonstrations will occur in Booth 504.
Sit(x) is a commercial Server-as-a-Service solution based on the
TAK platform developed by PAR Government for the U.S. Defense &
Intelligence Community. Sit(x) establishes real-time communication
and information sharing among otherwise non-federated military and
civilian personnel during rapidly evolving situations, both planned
and unexpected.
With Sit(x), individuals and teams can communicate via standard
personal computers and handheld mobile devices by voice, text, or
symbology. They can share real-time full-motion video (FMV), GIS
layers, airborne/drone imagery, GPS locations, raster maps, photos,
and documents and now satellite imagery across their defined
group.
PAR developed Sit(x) as an affordable and easy to use
cloud-based alternative to TAK Server for organizations. Sit(x) is
securely hosted in the AWS Gov Cloud with all hardware/software
management handled by PAR. Fully secure and compatible with ATAK,
WinTAK, and the just released iTAK, Sit(x) can be accessed via free
downloadable gateway applications.
