Radar Exploitation

•  Goes beyond traditional optical systems.

•  Penetrates clouds and is active at night.

•  Interferometry can detect and measure small change

•  Commercial sources in include : RadarSat 1 & 2, TeraSarX, Cosmo-Skymed

•  Indian Radar Sensor: RISAT 1 & 2

UAS From Defense to Commercial

Surveillance platforms – manned, unmanned (UAS), optionally manned Classification of UAS types •  Size – micro, small, medium,

large •  Endurance – short, medium, long •  Type – fixed wing, helicopter

(single or multirotor), gyrocopter, aerostats

Wikipedia – List of unmanned systems – 100s of systems around the world Video from commercial space-based platforms – Skybox, UrTheCast

UAS SENSORS

UAS sensors – photo,

multispectral, video, LiDAR

•  Photo, multispectral, LiDAR -

suited for mapping, exploitation

by photogrammetric software.

•  Video - suited for applications

which require capturing

continuous live action for

immediate action or forensic

review

UAS Application

UAV driven power line monitoring is safer and can cost far less than having a person climb and inspect each pole.

ANALYTICS

Dynamic Interactive Analytics

Spatial Modeling is the process of extracting information from geospatial data •  A deep toolbox of

operations is required. •  Fusing many different

data types extracts more information.

•  Graphical and Interactive make it intuitive and easy to use.

HANDLING THE DATA DELUGE

Data Deluge

Geospatial data volumes are growing at an ever increasing rate…

Data Deluge

Greater Resolution, Greater Coverage, Greater Frequency

Greater Resolution, Greater Coverage, Greater Frequency

New  Airborne  Data  Sources  

Data Deluge

Data Deluge

New Mobile Data Sources

Demand for Data Management

Solving the “Bounding Box” problem

Given a bounding box in space, and a given time period, discover and access all available, relevant & authorized information within that area.

Geospatial Data Types

Maps, Imagery, Features, Terrain, Place Names, Buildings, Infrastructure, Roads,

Political Boundaries, Hydrographic, Geodetic, etc. Location References in Structured

Data

Relational Databases, Travel Itineraries, Financial Transactions, Corporate Data, Personnel Records, Statistical Data, etc.

Sensor Data

EO, Spectral, Radar, LiDAR, Infrared, FMV, in situ, GPS, etc.

Access from Any Device

Desktop, Laptop, PDA, Wireless, Smartphone

Location References in Unstructured Data

News Reports, Publications, Manifests, Internet, World Wide Web, Audio, Video, etc.

Describe and publish your data

Powerful catalog •  Catalog anything digital •  Centralize metadata •  Automatic data ingest

Discover your data

•  Dynamic discovery of dispersed information

•  Fine-grained searches
