CHARLOTTE (BNS): Goodrich Corporation has provided the federated ISR data management systems to UK Ministry of Defence for improving the sharing of geospatial intelligence between UK and coalition forces.

Under 'Project Attacker', Goodrich's Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Systems has provided the technology to UK MoD.

"The aim of 'Attacker' is to allow UK forces to share the vast amount of information collected by their ISR sensor systems. The Goodrich Intelligence Reference Library and MERLIN Imagery Exploitation Systems enable rapid near real-time review and exploitation of ISR data to provide timely and actionable intelligence direct to commanders on the ground where and when it is required," Sam Macleod, managing director of Goodrich ISR Systems, Malvern, said.

These systems provide the UK's armed forces with a much improved capability to share ISR data across the theatre of operations.
