Color image produced for OSEI using Envi and ArcGIS software demonstrating overlay capabilities.

Imagery is geolocated allowing the user to integrate this image with other GIS compatible products.

Provides for virtually endless user defined value added products.

This type of product will enable a more diverse user base to use SSD produced products.
