Under the radar of missed.aero, the wreck of the North American B-25C Mitchell "Feather Merchant" (serial 41-12442) in Aitape, Papua New Guinea (-3.177555, 142.398295). This wreck is in a suburban area, surrounded by buildings with metal roofs and objects, which produces a lot of stray electromagnetic noise. Despite this, our system is not fooled and clearly distinguishes between a plane wreck and the rest of the surrounding objects and buildings, with 35 cm of precision.

research

Our research community deploys analysis and decision support tools and services on six continents.

Our researchers develop the underlying theoretical and mathematical processes, the software implementation, in situ deployments and knowledge required in remote sensing, geospatial systems, embedded systems, artificial intelligence and Earth sciences.

Our research is based on simple postulates.
An artefact (any artefact) is part of a controlled spatio-temporal process. When it is missing, disappears or becomes untraceable, the artefact has then left its controlled space-time envelope.
It is therefore through temporal analysis that the artifact can be placed back in space.

Temporal analysis relies on open source intelligence (OSINT), environmental assessments and our own Target Behavior Bayesian Analysis (TBBA) technique.
Data from cooperative sensor networks and opportunistic remote sensing devices can complement the data analyses.
