Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) Completes Another Successful Field Demonstration of POINTER Technology
April 30, 2021 - Pasadena, California
Balboa Geolocation to feature POINTER technology at TRIDENT SPECTRE 2021
April 26 - May 7, 2021
Balboa Geolocation’s POINTER technology (developed at Caltech / Jet Propulsion Lab) for GPS-denied environments was nominated and selected to participate in TRIDENT SPECTRE 2021. TS is the Naval Special Warfare Innovation Battle Lab. It’s an annual exercise focused on the integration of operations, intelligence, and technology, and comes together as a result of continuous planning and collaboration with joint interagency stakeholders. At the Core of all planning are USSOCOM operational capability shortfalls and needs from the intelligence community.
Balboa Geolocation, in conjunction with Caltech / Jet Propulsion Lab, will stream a live demonstration of POINTER from Pasadena, CA to Trident SPECTRE 2021 at Fort Story, VA. This demonstration will show real-time tracking and orientation of individuals inside a structure in a GPS-denied environment. It will also simulate a downed individual requiring rescue by a rapid intervention team. The real time data generated by POINTER will be run through BAE Systems, GXP visualization software and streamed live to monitors at Fort Story, VA.
