JACKAL
Perimeter ISTAR and situational awareness for base and perimeter security.
JACKAL is a mission-focused intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) ecosystem for military installations, embassies and other high-risk or high-value locations.
01 / Overview
Perimeter security systems are often fragmented, manpower-intensive and unable to deliver timely, actionable intelligence. JACKAL unifies existing cameras, sensors, unmanned systems and AI-enabled analytics into a single, coherent operational picture that supports continuous, 24/7 security operations.
Rather than introducing additional stovepiped tools, JACKAL integrates directly into an installation's existing infrastructure: fixed cameras, UAVs, social media feeds, ground or maritime robotic platforms and sensor networks, augmenting them with automated detection, tracking and geospatial intelligence generation.
The result is a persistent, intelligence-driven perimeter defense capability that reduces blind zones, improves response timelines and alleviates operator workload.
02 / Capabilities
Continuous monitoring
Perimeter and environmental monitoring, day and night, in all weather.
Automated detection and tracking
Automated detection and tracking of intrusions and anomalies across every connected sensor.
Real-time geospatial intelligence
Real-time geospatial mapping and intelligence product generation.
Unified situational awareness
One common mission picture for Security Forces, Intel and Operations.
Mission specific AI/ML training
Threat detection models trained for the installation, its terrain and its threats.
Rapid adaptation
Adapts to evolving threats, terrain and mission requirements.
