| Claim # | Patent Claim (Verbatim) | Infringing Use & Indirect Financial Gain | Evidence / Link / Screenshot |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mobile device broadcasts live video in real-time (’986 B2 Claim 1) | ✅ Soldiers and units stream live body-cam/UAS video via secure radios/cellular/satcom. Indirect Gain: Faster situational awareness reduces mission time and casualties → tangible dollar value. |
Army: Nett Warrior shows live video to leaders (2025) “Leaders at all echelons can see the video in real time.” Defense Systems: NW streams drone video (2017) |
| 2 | Video selection and transmission over a network to remote viewers (’986 B2 Claim 3) | ✅ Command elements select feeds and redistribute to analysts/decision-makers. Indirect Gain: Less radio traffic and re-tasking latency → fuel/man-hour savings. |
ATAK shares photos, videos, real-time camera feeds DHS: ATAK real-time events & data sharing |
| 3 | Server/intermediary relays live video from multiple devices (’961 B2 Claim 2) | ✅ Tactical servers/TAK Server rebroadcast multiple FMV feeds to users on demand. Indirect Gain: Centralized relay lowers bandwidth waste and duplication → lower comms costs. |
Army: Nett Warrior acted as full-motion video server TAK-server-as-a-service (multi-user FMV) |
| 4 | Viewer interface allows selection among multiple live feeds (’986 B2 Claim 6) | ✅ TAK/WinTAK clients display maps + selectable UAS/body-cam streams. Indirect Gain: Faster target/route selection reduces mission hours and risk. |
TAK UAS plug-in shows live video feed ATAK (FMV listed in app description) |
| 5 | System enables multi-user, real-time viewing of live video feeds (’961 B2 Claim 5) | ✅ Multi-echelon access (leaders, analysts, JTACs) to concurrent live feeds via JADC2/TAK ecosystems. Indirect Gain: Shared view minimizes blue-on-blue, asset loss, and repetition → measurable savings. |

Live, mobile, multi-viewer video improves outcomes and cuts waste across logistics, training, and mission execution. Using conservative, base, and aggressive models, the Department’s five-year net present value (7% discount) ranges from $2.67B to $41.0B. A license priced at 10–30% of that value is standard IP practice.
License Ask: $8,000,000,000 (≈20% of the Aggressive case). This reflects a modest share of realized value, not the full benefit.
Note: Figures illustrate value ranges for negotiation; actual savings vary by mission tempo, theater, and adoption scope.
