VESS Unviels Jackal for advanced istar.
Delivering Persistent Mission Intelligence and Perimeter Situational Awareness for High-Value Installations
Viele Exploratory Sustainable Solutions (VESS) today announced the Jackal Initiative, a mission-focused intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) ecosystem designed to enhance perimeter security, environmental situational awareness, and real-time mission intelligence for military installations, embassies, and other high-risk or high-value locations.
Jackal addresses a core operational challenge faced across the Department of Defense: perimeter security systems are often fragmented, manpower-intensive, and unable to deliver timely, actionable intelligence. Jackal solves this by unifying existing cameras, sensors, unmanned systems, and AI-enabled analytics into a single, coherent operational picture that supports continuous, 24/7 security operations.
Rather than introducing additional stovepiped tools, Jackal integrates directly into an installation’s existing infrastructure: fixed cameras, UAVs, social media feeds, ground or maritime robotic platforms, and sensor networks; augmenting them with automated detection, tracking, and geospatial intelligence generation. The result is a persistent, intelligence-driven perimeter defense capability that reduces blind zones, improves response timelines, and alleviates operator workload.
Mission-Centric ISTAR for Perimeter Defense
Jackal is purpose-built to support:
Continuous perimeter and environmental monitoring (day/night, all-weather)
Automated detection and tracking of intrusions and anomalies
Real-time geospatial mapping and intelligence product generation
Unified situational awareness for Security Forces, Intel, and Operation
Rapid adaptation to evolving threats, terrain, and mission requirements
By fusing sensor data with AI/ML analytics and autonomous or semi-autonomous platforms, Jackal provides defenders with a common mission picture that enables faster decision-making without increasing manpower demands.
Enhancing the Defender’s Advantage
Jackal transforms perimeter security from reactive monitoring into proactive, intelligence-led defense. By automating routine surveillance tasks and delivering consistent, actionable intelligence products, the system allows Security Forces and commanders to focus on decision-making and response—rather than managing disparate systems.
The Jackal Initiative represents a shift toward outcome-driven mission support, providing installations with the situational awareness and intelligence dominance required to secure today’s complex operational environments.
