Greystones Group has been awarded a prime Defense Intelligence Agency contract for visual media analysis software.
Under the contract, of which the value was not disclosed, Greystones will support the Visual Media Reasoning program, or VMR, at the National Media Exploitation Center, according to a Greystones news release.
"Greystones will optimize VMR to deploy as both a standalone configuration and in an elastic cloud environment, developing multiuser capability, data compartmentalization and hardening the system for operational use," the company said.
"The VMR application, when fully developed and deployed will extract operationally relevant mission and operational information from the expanse of photos and video in order to support development of actionable intelligence," Greystones said. "This program supports the transition of the VMR from a successful [research and development] program to an operational, visual product at the national-level media exploitation centers that provides those commanders and leaders a full understanding of the threat."
