A.D.A.M. System

The A.D.A.M. VII data management system is a real-time surveillance system that provides integrated data collection from on board sensors, systems integration, tactical navigation, and in-flight reporting functions. Originally developed in 1985, the A.D.A.M. VII system has undergone numerous upgrades and revisions and has now become the flagship of Provincial Aerospace Limited Software Engineering Division. To date, the system has flown over 150,000 hours of airborne surveillance missions worldwide.

The A.D.A.M. VII system is comprised of a real-time GIS moving map display with on-screen mission planning tools, mission and target tracking capabilities, as well as post-mission reporting functions. Near real-time data transfer is currently supported via various data transfer methods such as supported SATCOMS with PGP encryption software, IP based communications such as VPN and FTP, encryption terminals such as STU-III/IIB, as well as HF radios. Data transfers support OTH-Gold Standard Format and C4I interfaces. A.D.A.M. VII has been designed to manage and integrate with various on-board sensor systems such as Radar (via our V.R.C.P.), FLIR, SIGNIT, GPS, digital cameras and video systems. A.D.A.M. is also integrated with key vessel management systems such as AIS and VMS for target tracking and management. This integration is possible because of A.D.A.M. VII’s support for multiple bus standards such as MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, RS-422/232 and Ethernet. A.D.A.M. VII is also multi-language capable.

The A.D.A.M. VII data management system has also been designed to integrate closely with our second-generation web-based Surveillance Information Server. S.I.S. is a Mission Map Display and Reporting ground system.
