Overview

Horizon Insight is an evolving tool designed to support mission-critical decision-making by enabling synchronized playback and review of data collected from multiple operational assets. Developed within the context of a Horizon Europe project, Horizon Insight is currently deployed in a Navy Operational Command Center, serving as a key component in a growing European ecosystem for defense and civil protection technologies.

At this stage, Horizon Insight focuses on record and replay functionality, providing operators with the ability to reconstruct operational events in detail. By offering a unified interface for reviewing time-stamped mission data, the platform enhances situational awareness, supports debriefing and training, and lays the foundation for future real-time integration and decision-making.

Challenge

Field operations—whether military, maritime, or civil protection—rely on a wide range of assets equipped with advanced sensors. These systems generate vast streams of data, including GNSS positioning, video feeds, and perception outputs. However, this data is often siloed across different platforms, making it difficult for operators to access a coherent operational picture during or after a mission.

Operators are frequently forced to manually piece together fragmented information for mission analysis, training, or reporting—an inefficient and error-prone process. Meanwhile, post-operation insights are critical for improving performance, informing strategy, and preparing for future missions.

Solution

Horizon Insight addresses these challenges by providing a synchronized playback environment that brings together mission data from multiple sources. Instead of jumping between systems, users can now replay events with precise GNSS-based timestamps, analyze key moments frame by frame, and extract meaningful insights for after-action review.

Key capabilities include:

  • Data Replay & Debriefing
    Operators can replay recorded mission data in a chronological, synchronized interface—ideal for post-mission analysis, debriefing, and training. Key moments can be tagged and annotated for structured review.
  • Unified Playback Interface
    Data from multiple sources—GNSS, sensor logs, perception outputs—can be visualized in a single tool, reducing complexity and minimizing manual effort during analysis.
  • Secure Data Handling
    All data is time-stamped and traceable, enabling accurate reconstructions of events while preserving data integrity and compliance with operational standards.

Use Cases & Industry Applications

Defense: Horizon Insight supports post-mission review, training, and tactical debriefing by providing synchronized playback of events. It improves mission preparedness and supports operational learning cycles.

Civil Protection: Emergency response agencies can analyze past interventions to identify bottlenecks, improve coordination strategies, and enhance preparedness for future crises.

Maritime Operations: In maritime environments, Horizon Insight aids in the review of suspicious movements, incident response, and coordination exercises—contributing to safer and more informed operations.

Results

  • Enhances security and reliability by protecting against data fragmentation while maintaining software integrity.
  • Streamlines update management, ensuring secure and efficient distribution of operational data across systems.
  • Lowers operational risks and long-term costs through automated data integration.
  • Allows for full mission debriefing with field-wide situational awareness by providing a unified, coherent operational picture.

Looking Ahead

Horizon Insight is a foundational step toward a fully integrated, real-time decision-support platform for defense and civil protection. While current deployments focus on playback and review, ongoing development aims to incorporate real-time integrated visualization, with role-based customized views, and dynamic decision support tools. These future enhancements will build on the robust infrastructure and user feedback from current use cases.
