The presentation “Crimes and Investigations Solved Faster with AI” highlights the game-changing role that artificial intelligence (AI) plays in the world of criminal investigations.
In today’s digital age—overflowing with photos, videos, location data, and social media—analysts face information fatigue. AI now acts as an essential ally, speeding up data analysis, correcting errors, and improving efficiency. By handling vast amounts of information at lightning speed, AI not only accelerates case resolution but also transforms the very nature of investigative work in the digital era.

This presentation details our advanced tactical security solutions, specifically tailored for border defense, force protection, and critical infrastructure security. We will showcase our cutting-edge, long-range optronic systems (thermal and visible) as the primary sensors for persistent surveillance and accurate threat detection. These systems, mobile or fixed, are natively integrated within the comprehensive Motorola Solutions ecosystem, which is unified by our advanced C4 (Command & Control) software. We will demonstrate how this single platform creates a complete common operational picture by fusing data from multiple sources. This includes the seamless integration of Tetra and P25 radios for secure communications and Blue Force Tracking, as well as incorporating inputs from radar systems and other third-party sensors. Our approach delivers unparalleled situational awareness, enabling faster, more informed decision-making and coordinated responses for tactical operations.
