New Projects: Gokturk-3 Space-borne SAR and SAR/GMTI Pod
SDT is presenting her SAR signal processing, imagery and exploitation capabilities to meet the Turkish Armed Forces’ (TAF’s) reconnaissance and surveillance needs for different platforms varying from fighter aircrafts to the first national SAR Satellite Program: Gokturk-3. Automatic target recognition, change detection and other SAR image analysis and exploitation services to maximize the system utility has been already planned for prospective SAR systems. SDT is confident with her background and expertise in SAR technologies to undertake challenging tasks like development of Coherent Change Detection (CCD), Interferometry and its very specialized application; Subsidence Mapping and Ground Deformation Analysis (GDA). While responding to TAF’s reconnaisance, surveillance and intelligence needs by developing and implementing such cutting edge technologies nationally for the first time, SDT is willing to assist and leverage SAR Systems usage in the field of civil applications as well.
Automatic Target Detection and Recognition on Satellite SAR Images
Another image analysis product that SDT has recently finalized is a software system that has routines to recognize civil and military targets defined by NATO STANAGs. The implementation activities have been initiated by Undersecretariat for Defence Industries (SSM) as an R&D project known as HASAT that is built for making value added intelligence analysis through processing of high resolution satellite images. SDT has developed the system with additional features (like parallel processing) to be able to support future requirements of the national satellite systems especially GÖKTÜRK 3. The project is currently at the verification test phase. In this phase, system’s utilization conditions and operating principles are being assessed and interactive studies with the users are being conducted for providing maximum utilization to the users.
Satellite Ground Segment Solutions and Capabilities of SDT
Airborne and space based surveillance and reconnaissance are essential for successful military missions. Such capabilities are critical for troop protection, situational awareness, mission planning, damage assessment, and others. Space based platforms provide capability of periodic surveillance for large areas without any geographical limitations with different kind of information. SDT has started her activities regarding the Satellite Ground Segment with GOKTURK-1 military surveillance project. SDT is responsible to develop User Services Subsystem of the GOKTURK Ground Segment in scope of the GOKTURK-1 Program as a sub-contractor of the ASELSAN since 2010. SDT has also involved the GOKTURK-3 (SAR Satellite) Program which has started at the end of 2013, as s sub-contractor of the ASELSAN. Consequently; SDT is responsible to develop User Services Subsystem of the GOKTURK Ground Station under Turkish Air Force Command. GOKTURK Ground Station will serve to all of the GOKTURK satellites (GOKTURK-1, GOKTURK-2 and GOKTURK-3). On 5th of December, 2016; GOKTURK-1 was lunched and SDT software solutions have since been used in real life applications with high success and availability. SDT is improving her capabilities regarding Ground Station in order to support also airborne platforms after the experience on the GOKTURK-1 Project. With this target; SDT has started to develop multi-mission ground segment solution for both space and airborne platforms. SDT has been designing and developing SDT Enterprise Service Infrastructure (SenseI) as a core service framework technology. Receiving data from producers/sources of satellite/UAV payloads are processed with ingestion steps which are aligned with OGC and INSPIRE metadata standard. Moreover, image process adaptors are managed with ESA Generic IPF. SenseI is a middleware SDT solution, applicable in horizontal and vertical scalable, and also “Open Archival Information System (OAIS)” is used for archiving process. SenseI consists of pluggable workflows, business logic modules, and data process and data package elements. SenseI communicates with man machine interface (MMI), catalogue, archive and dissemination, and image exploitation services under single sign on, authentication and authorization policies. SDT developed a modular, end-to-end, comprehensive solution for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) requirements, from imagery and video acquisition to Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) dissemination. Within this scope; SDT has provided complete solution proposals to different countries according to their intelligence needs.
