SPOTTERai Auto Classification. Spotter, a manufacturer of industry-leading ground surveillance radar, is announcing it’s forthcoming software release for its NetworkedIO (NIO) 4.0 software platform which adds Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the automatic classification of targets.
SPOTTERai is an automatic track classification included as part of the NIO software that ensures a trainable neural network that based on low-level radar data automatically assigns a classification type and confidence level for each target. The use of AI and Machine Learning in the NIO assists in reducing false alerts and allows end-users to improve the performance of the system simply by manually selecting the type of targets being tracked and retraining the AI. “The AI classifier and trainer are an excellent tool to further reduce false alarms and reduce the workload on the operator. After the operator manually classifies 30 tracks or more of at least two different types the AI is able to differentiate between those types, such as between cars and people or birds and drones with confidence that increases as more tracks are classified”, said Logan Harris, CEO, and Founder of SpotterRF.
“With our new AI engine, customers will be able to focus on targets that matter. We’ve heard from our user base that they appreciate our NIO software being so flexible and easy to integrate with other systems. With the addition of AI, we ensure our products are even more valuable in preventing harm at their sites”. 04.18.19

Yemen’s Iranian-allied Houthi rebels said Tuesday they attacked a Saudi airport and military base with a bomb-laden drone, an assault acknowledged by the kingdom as Mideast tensions remain high between Tehran and the United States. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The attack on the Saudi city of Najran came after Iran announced it has quadrupled its uranium-enrichment production capacity, though still a level far lower than needed for atomic weapons, a year after the U.S. withdrew from its nuclear deal with world powers.
Underlining the tensions, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is seeking expanded executive powers to better deal with “economic war” triggered by the Trump’s administration’s renewal and escalation of sanctions targeting the Islamic Republic, the state-run IRNA news agency reported Tuesday. 05.21.19 READ MORE

Many offshore platforms are locations of danger, especially in the Gulf of Mexico. Frequent security problems include, but are not limited to, theft, sabotage, vandalism and the smuggling of drugs and weapons. These are severe problems and generate a huge liability for Pemex. The tool that they have begun to use is radar. SpotterRF Compact Surveillance Radar and can see threats before they ever become one. They target, track and monitor the movements of humans, vehicles such as boats, and even drones. Since these compact radars can see over a kilometer out over the water, they catch the bad guys before they cross the perimeter.
Able to withstand and see in harsh weathers, SpotterRF radar is essentially never blind, making them the perfect solution for catching smugglers, vandalizers and thieves. Once verified with integrated PTZ Camera video recording, action can be taken to mitigate or eliminate the threat. Pemex has already seen great results from using this security solution.
SpotterRF provides a feasible and low-cost solution for many security applications. Pemex’s offshore sites are just one example of how compact radar have saved time, resources and money in making critical infrastructure safe.
