Latest Patents
Waldschmidt holds a patent for a "Method and representations for exporting tactical data link information as a web service." This invention presents a scalable method and apparatus for performing a mashup of military Situation Awareness (SA) data in a tactical data link (TDL) with data residing in several databases. The system utilizes a web server-web browser architecture over an IP-based network. In a preferred embodiment, the invention employs a TDL gateway to collect and correlate SA data from a TDL and stores the data in a track database. This database is interfaced by a web server to the IP-based network. A SA web browser interfaces with the TDL gateway web server, a maps server, and a symbology server to mash data from multiple sources into an integrated whole. This allows for a more complete graphical representation of the SA data. The invention is also capable of operating in reverse, enabling the injection of user-defined data from the SA web browser into the TDL.
