- Custom implementation, combining state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks and classical computer vision tracking approaches for multitarget identification and high-frame-rate tracking at the edge
- Precise, semantic subregion tracking
- Compatibility with electro-optical/infrared cameras
Dash C3
KBR's DASH C3 is an interactive graphical user interface that provides real-time situational awareness and decision support through the coordination of multiple sensing assets all observing complex suites of uncooperative objects. Users can adjust the desired situational awareness parameters and dynamically configure the display based on specific features or targets of interest. Dash C3 has been developed and used in multisensor, multi-object scenarios.
Cybersecurity
KBR’s highly cleared and skilled workforce is at the forefront of cybersecurity, providing both government and commercial clients the solutions they need to safeguard mission-critical networks, systems, devices, programs and data. Our clients can always count on us to deliver robust, secure, compliant solutions that are thoroughly tested and validated against established standards.
CRYSTALVISTA℠ and Quantum Pantheon℠
KBR has integrated commercial and government software and hardware capabilities to deliver both a secure warfighting fabric (CRYSTALVISTA) and high-performance computing nodes (Quantum Pantheon) to give clients the tactical edge.
CRYSTALVISTA is a secure warfighting fabric that is data, system, platform and cloud agnostic. The solution uses combinations of data paths, including commercial internet, to create a global mesh network through which sensitive encrypted data may be quickly and securely transmitted. Quantum Pantheon accelerates the ability to sense and make sense of any operational environment by processing and contextualizing data where it’s created. While they operate as standalone solutions, both employ a modular open systems approach (MOSA) that enables maximum interoperability and sustainment at mission speed.
Cyber Range
KBR's Cyber Range is a secure, virtual platform for real-world cyber testing and defense tactic development. The Cyber Range facilitates advanced network simulations without impacting mission-critical systems. Clients can practice incident response and recovery procedures and test new cybersecurity tools and technologies, improving their ability to effectively respond to cyberattacks.
Data Analytics
Our clients work in areas of increasing global economic and geopolitical importance. That’s why they count on our experts to deliver solutions that turn their data into better, more informed decisions. From assessing goals and determining objectives; to developing new models and gathering data; to testing, evaluating and delivering the final solution, KBR is with our clients at every level, transforming data insights into innovation.
CleanSpend℠ powered by ENCOMPASS℠
KBR CleanSpend is the most comprehensive life cycle carbon analysis solution available for offshore platform oil and gas projects. CleanSpend’s automated engine calculates emissions over a project’s lifetime, including previously hard-to-calculate scope 3 emissions, generating results within minutes. These insights can then be used to make more informed decisions to minimize carbon emissions at the earliest possible stages of a project’s development.
H2Evolution℠ powered by ENCOMPASS℠
The emergence of hydrogen as an energy source and carrier has led to exploration of several approaches for establishing production, supply and offtake. Evaluating those options requires engineering and financial expertise. KBR’s H2Evolution uses unique algorithms that autogenerate layout and equipment selection for location-specific hydrogen plants and that also estimate lifetime capital, operational and carbon costs.
INSITE®
This unique digital solutions offers remote technical and advisory services for operating plants and other facilities. The KBR INSITE securely gathers data and analyzes it to provide value-adding insights into process performance. Traditionally used in the chemicals and industrial sectors, INSITE is being expanded to include aircraft systems operations.
