WHAT IS IT?

NEMESiS is a standalone software application that gives the power to individual war fighters to:

1. Acquire a target remotely and completely stealthy,2. Improve their Situational Awareness with an innovative way called 4D Augmented Reality (4DAR)3. Pass the targeting information immediately to a variety of strike platforms

This tri-fold process offers absolute spatial and temporal tactical superiority for the duration of the mission.NEMESiS cannot be detected so it leaves no choices to the enemy. The situation is totally controlled.

HOW IT WORKS?

NEMESiS s/w utilizes the UAV video feed (or any other aerial IMINT source video stream i.e. Reccepods, Targeting pods, etc) to directly extract (rip) the target coordinates stored within it (as metadata). Itdoes that by running advanced algorithms that associate each individual video pixel to its correspondingground coordinates. When the mouse pointer hovers over the video window the actual geographiccoordinates are displayed.


These are the target coordinates

HOW IT WORKS?

As a collateral outcome of this process, NEMESiS drapes the UAV video dynamically over the actuallocation it originates from. The user sees the real time UAV video feed floating over the mappingbackground. This procedure geo-references the UAV video and it substantially improves the usersSituational Awareness since the contents of the video are now precisely referenced with regards to thesurrounding environment. This process is known as 4D Augmented Reality (4DAR) since it places theobservers to the actual operation environment as if they were really there.

NEMESiS performs its tasks on both 2D or 3D terrain digital elevation data. It has been extensively

tested on several field trials within the US and abroad (Thailand, Greece) under US DoD sponsorship andin conjunction with fielded UAS such as the USMC RAVEN, WASP and PUMA. NEMESiS is currentlyfielded with various NATO Special Forces under customized configurations.

HOW IT WORKS?

NEMESiS forwards targeting data achieved via the 4DAR process, directly to various Ground, Maritimeand Aerial weapon platforms. NEMESiS transmits the targeting data to A/C, H/C, MLRS battalions or anyplatform that can accept geographic coordinates for targeting purposes. Even unattended infantry machineguns can accept the IDM protocol targeting data and slew towards the target autonomously.

NEMESiS is a proven platform and its modules are heavily tested in NATO and US military camps. Field

tests are made in more than 25 speechless daCAS operations and a total amount of 100+ military jets havebeing dedicated to the tests. NEMESiS is currently fully interoperable with Aerovironments sUAVs, CarlZeiss Optronics LRFs, i-BEAM BFT radios, Symetrics IDM TDLs.

Utilizes existing equipment

UAVs and IDM TDLs, are currently widely used in the US and Joint NATO forces. NEMESiS requires nomodification of these assets and is ready for use with the existing gear without additional adaptations orcosts.

Interoperable

NEMESiS talks to multiple existing aerial, maritime and ground weapon platforms thought the integrated

IDM Tactical Data Link. IDM is a low cost TDL in a USB stick form factor that became a standard in Joint

and SOF operations. Its open architecture allows Ad-Hoc adaptation to new systems.

Situational Awareness Augmentation

NEMESiS introduces a 4th dimension to the term S.A. by offering the Gods eye view in a precise geo-

referenced manner. Its not a simulation, but the 4D reality of what happens in the field right when ithappens.

NEMESiS Added ValueTetra Communications Group

Simplicity

All the complex techniques and advanced algorithms that NEMESiS is running are transparent to the user.NEMESiS preloaded modes allow inexperienced personnel to operate NEMESiS efficiently from the veryfirst time. All is required is turn on your gear and youre ready for action.

Adds the Strike element to passive IMINT platforms (UAVs)

Warfighers and Decision Makers have the power to control the situation stealthy and remotely. Once ashot is made on a target, NEMESiS offers the by point and click rectification for Fire For Effect withoutguess work. Time is always the most critical factor in target acquisition after the initial shot isfired. Especially if it is moving target

Force multiplier

NEMESiS maximizes its benefits in small units operations allows where small formations are employedand can assist accomplishing tasks that normally require a fully deployed battalion. A team of twoequipped with a s-UAV and a remotely operated artillery system can achieve complete tactical superiority.

NEMESiS Added ValueTetra Communications Group

Optimization of accuracy

NEMESiS uses a unique algorithm to optimize the accuracy of target coordinates that are extracted fromIMINT sources.


10/17

Target Coordinates Acquisition with Laser Range Finders

NEMESiS accepts data from high precision, long range (20 Km) LRFs. Point to the target and pull the LRFtrigger is all it is required. The target location along with its picture appears on NEMESiS 3-D terrain. Presstransmit to sent the target coordinates acquired with the LRF directly to the strikers.

NEMESiS Additional FeaturesTetra Communications Group


11/17

Embedded unique Fratricide Prevention features warn the NEMESiS user and the aircrews on a potential Friendly Force engagement:

NEMESiS displays on the same environment with the target :A. The location of the Friendly Forces

(The user can input the FF locations manually) or (Automatically as inputs from BFT radios)

. The Fragments Coverage Plots of the selected weapon (The selected weapon is received as input from the On Station message) or (The user can select the weapons used manually)


NEMESiS will transmit the location of the FF to the Air Crews directly, along with the 9-Line message

NEMESiS will issue warnings if the FF are within the fragments range of the selected weapon to preventor call off the strike

NEMESiS will warn the dispatched FF through the use of the LynX Long Range BFT radio (vibration)

that they are within fragments range (This feature is under development and will be available on Jan 2010)

BFT

NEMESiS displays on the same environment the BFT inputs from the LynX Long Range BFT radio.Individual war fighters can use the wrist-worn display to receive the BFT inputs from other radios.


NEMESiS will transmit the Friendly Forces location directly to the attack A/C and H/C so pilots can avoidBlue-on-Blue.

Cell Phone 9-Line

The user can enter the 9-Line to the Cell Phone version of NEMESiS (NEMESiS Lite) and send the data to

remote IDMs. This means that a user with a cell phone can now communicate (9-Line andfree text) with the A/C or artillery platforms directly

NEMESiS Current StatusTetra Communications Group

NEMESiS fully (100%) supports operationally all the AeroVironment fielded UAS(Raven, WASP, PUMA).

To set NEMESiS interoperable with other UAS fielded or unfielded platforms, a softwareintegration on the NEMESiS side (only) is required. This can be considered as an80% completed integration when referring to interoperability of NEMESiS withadditional UAS. As a result, this integration leaves the legacy UAS unaffected thus

minimizing the time and costs required for fielding capability.

The integration of NEMESiS with 3rd party UAS requires the use of:a. Metadata used by the UAS platform (ICD)b. A software socket adaptation on the NEMESiS side for exchanging data with the

UAS Ground Control Station (GCS)

NEMESiS SUMMARYTetra Communications Group

Acquires targets coordinates from the following sources:

ManuallyClick on the mapLaser range findersUAV/Targeting/Recce pod video feeds

Can be operated remotely and stealthy

Provides Fratricide Prevention

NEMESiS fits perfect for small unit operation since its not depending on calling for support fromHigh Altitude platforms. Once a shot is made on a target, NEMESiS really differentiates itself by

point and click rectification for Fire For Effect without guess work. Time is always the most criticalfactor in target acquisition after the initial shot is fired. Especially if it is a moving target.
