D-VEX is the next-generation tactical video exploitation system for real-time analysis of full motion video from fixed and airborne surveillance platforms.End-to-end video exploitation system helps manage large volumes of full motion video and enhances the distribution of mission-critical, actionable intelligence to forward-deployed forces.

Currently deployed in Afghanistan by the Australian Defence Force, D-VEX provides operators with intuitive tools for enhancing, streamlining and analysing live and recorded video with linked map displays to provide forward-deployed forces with situational awareness.

D-Vex is specifically designed for in-theatre operations where ease-of-use and low system overhead are vital, the commercial off-the-shelf nature of D-VEX and its ability to run on standard rack-mounted and mobile hardware are extremely important to today's warfighter, allowing to filter hours of video down to critical few minutes  essential for providing forward-deployed forces with enhanced situational awareness.
