Lifeseeker´s Mission Control Software

Lifeseeker is an airborne system capable of locating missing people trough their cell phone signal. Its Mission Control Software shows the operator all the mission information and allows him/her to interact with the whole system.

This software commands and gathers information from all the devices and sensors in the system (scanners, signal generators, positioning devices, health monitors...) and implements algorithms such as target geolocation or scanning strategies in order to make the system as autonomous as possible. The operator can modify the mission, check specific data, define a new mission, or finalize it.

The Mission Control Software is also the core of other products that we develop, such as LTE Communications Cell or emergency beacon location systems.

Its architecture has been and needs to be designed with the following goals:

• Scalability (in order to grow our product portfolio)
• Usability
• Autonomy (our systems are used in search and rescue and emergency, so products require to be intelligent).

The user interface is web-based (HTML5, Javascript, Websockets, Angular...). However, the core of the Mission Control Software is developed in Python, including technologies such as Django, Geographic Information Systems (GIS, Openlayers, Geographiclib), async programming (Twisted) and communication software (Protobuf, TCP/IP).
