Agenda

2

• Introduction to GXP® solutions

• Description of all Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) processing capabilities in SOCET GXP®

• Live software demonstration of SOCET GXP showing SAR display options, SAR tools and products for change detection, creating Sub Aperture Stack products, Coherent Change Detection (CCD) product creation, and terrain generation from stereo SAR imagery




GXP product solution overviewSOCET GXP is an advanced geospatial intelligence software solution that utilizes imagery from satellite and aerial sources to identify, analyze, and extract ground features, allowing for rapid product creation.

GXP InMotion™ video analysis application combines a sleek, streamlined user experience with a powerful set of tools designed for every level of the video analyst’s needs.

GXP Xplorer® is a revolutionary data management application that makes it easy to locate, retrieve, and share geospatial data, wherever it is.

GXP WebView® is a light-weight Electronic Light Table (ELT) designed as a quick and easy tool for report creation and simple image viewing in the web.

GXP OpsView™ provides situational awareness and operational visibility through strategic planning tools, simplified communications, and a Common Operating Picture (COP).

Tracking Analytic Software Suite (TASS) enables interpretation of critical movement and activity data from both Full Motion Video (FMV) and Wide Area Motion Imagery (WAMI). TASS provides real-time detection and tracking of both vehicles and people across an entire field-of-view.




Synthetic Aperture Radar

4

• SAR is a coherent side-looking radar system that utilizes the flight path of the platform to simulate an extremely large antenna or aperture electronically

• Sends an active radar signal and collects the return signal

• Can collect at night

• Can see through clouds

• Individual transmit/receive cycles are completed with the data from each cycle being stored electronically

• Signal processing uses magnitude and phase of the received signals over successive pulses from elements of a synthetic aperture

• The stored data can be recombined to create a detected or magnitude image of the ground
