The ability to build, view and analyze the operational picture in a geospatial reference
is critical for successful military and intelligence operations. The SkylineGlobe
suite of applications provides this much needed utility to every level of the military
hierarchy, from the real-time visualization of the battlespace by senior commanders,
to the rapid and easy-to-use tactical analysis capabilities necessary to the warfighter.
As a defense-wide infrastructure, Skyline’s software solutions simultaneously support
mission planning, training and exercises, and command and control activities.
Build precise high quality, 3D environments
Multi-sensor data fusion combined with robust tools for
collection and management of imagery, elevation, and feature layers enable you to
create photo-realistic, geographically accurate databases.
Update and deliver data rapidly
With SkylineGlobe’s powerful server applications, optimized cache databases, dynamic update and native data streaming capabilities, massive quantities of geospatial
data can be updated and published quickly, for swift informed decision-making.
Share data with your operators and decision makers
Skyline’s open standards enable you to share data with any application that reads
the standard OGC WFS and WMS protocols.
Analyze the location and characteristics of your operational environment
Advanced analysis tools enable on-the-ground defense personnel to picture and understand
the complexities of their combat zone and empower military analysts to make knowledgeable
informed decisions.
Experience a fluid, intuitive visualization of your 3D environment
SkylineGlobe works seamlessly across variable bandwidths on both secure and unsecure
networks and is not affected by latency or temporary breaks in connectivity. After
receiving the initial scene in low-resolution, users can begin to interact with
the 3D environment without having to wait for entire frames of data to display.
UAV feeds can be draped directly onto the terrain background, providing enhanced
comprehension of 3D spatial relationships between UAV video, points on earth and
other real-time sensor information such as Blue Force Tracking movements.
Collaborate with mission partners
SkylineGlobe applications offer powerful and simple to use tools for collaborative
analysis of data.
Defense Applications
Skyline software supports all phases of Defense and Intelligence management including: Mission Planning, Rehearsal and Debriefing, Command and Control, Asset Tracking and Intelligence Analysis.
Mission Planning, Rehearsal and Debriefing
Before a mission, SkylineGlobe can be used by mission planners to evaluate potential approaches to a target based on surrounding terrain, possible choke points and other critical information. TerraExplorer comes equipped with both traditional terrain analysis tools and more advanced geospatial analysis abilities including: Line-of-Sight, Viewshed Analysis and Threat Dome. These powerful analysis capabilities can significantly aid in providing a better geospatial understanding of the area prior to deployment.
Team leaders can generate a ground or air representation of anticipated operational situations so troops can better envision what it will be like in the field. Multi-sensor data fusion combined with robust tools for collection and management of imagery, elevation, and detailed feature layers enable you to create 3D, photo-realistic, geographically accurate visualizations of a mission site. This enables team leaders to walk troops step-by-step through a mission, avoiding the misconceptions that invariably result from depicting a 3D world in 2D.
After a mission, SkylineGlobe’s 3D visualizations support effective debriefing sessions. Commanders can accurately reenact the mission, evaluating each progressive step of the operation and easily updating or modifying the 3D model based on new intelligence.
Command and Control
SkylineGlobe solutions provide significantly increased capabilities to military Command and Control centers for dealing with complex and dynamic missions. SkylineGlobe enables you to view live updates to imagery, terrain, assets, and friendly and enemy forces location information, as real-time data becomes available. With SkylineGlobe’s DirectConnect extension, vast amounts of imagery and elevation data can be made accessible within minutes for viewing and analysis by the organization’s Command and Control center. Deployment plans, troop formations, and lines of attack can then all be modified to reflect the latest intelligence and tactical information. Soldiers can receive updated 3D visualizations from central command via a wireless connection.
Asset Tracking
The ability to track movement of assets and display them within a wider geographical perspective enhances situational awareness and informed decision making.
With TerraExplorer’s interfaces to Blue Force tracking, “Cursor on Target”, “Link-16”, standard GPS feeds and specific UAV platforms, users have the means to track in real-time the movement of friendly assets. Unit designators can be displayed as simple text labels, moving 3D models, or the traditional Mil-Std 2525b.
Intelligence Analysis
Build rich 3D visualizations by creating or importing a wide range of geospatial data. Create a terrain database “on-the-fly” using the latest satellite pictures of a target area. Projection of UAV video geo-referenced onto preloaded terrain background provides operators with enhanced comprehension of 3D spatial relationships between UAV and points on earth. Feature layers added to the 3D terrain, such as mine fields and electric lines further increase situational awareness.
Highlight specific points of interest that can then be designated and analyzed with other SkylineGlobe users via the Collaboration tools. SkylineGlobe offers a powerful and extremely efficient means of disseminating these datasets to those personnel or units that need them the most.
