Data Management, exploitation and analysis are growing challenges for our sector and to address these and more are Mission Decisions, Aditerna, Cervus, and Omnia Training Group.
If it’s the delivery of critical infrastructure to your simulation solutions like Terrain, then look no further than LuxCarta who are exploring the role of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in military strategy. GIS technology is supporting the military landscape and providing strategic advantages that were once the stuff of science fiction. Enhancing situational awareness, aiding mission planning, and transforming logistics in modern warfare.
At LuxCarta, their geographic information systems use the most up-to-date imagery of the planet from the Sentinel satellite array. Our BrightEarth technology automatically converts these images into intelligence for GIS military teams – helping them to identify building footprints and vegetation, creating pop maps, and more. Our solutions also connect to leading simulation providers such as VBS4, helping create the most sophisticated and up-to-date mission rehearsal environments.
