BAE SYSTEMS SOCET GXP Software Simplifies Geospatial Analysis

BAE Systems (CA, USA) has released an upgraded version of its SOCET GXP software application that supports image analysis, geospatial analysis, photogrammetry, and targeting--all from a single user interface.

SOCET GXP v2.1 aids geospatial analysis workflow, processing information from imagery of the earth and transforming the data into mission-critical knowledge. The software supports commercial and defence customers by providing highly accurate geospatial data and reference tools.

One new feature is the 3D fly-through, which simulates real world scenarios and gives customers a way to preview a geographic area in three dimensions for improved situational awareness and decision making. Fly-throughs created by SOCET GXP can be recorded as a digital movie file for inclusion in presentations.

Other enhancements include terrain visualisation to view digital elevation models against imagery; a map finishing tool for creating advanced imagery products, with the option of direct export to PowerPoint and targeting. The new critical targeting component is fully integrated with the U.S. Navy's Common Geopositioning Services (CGS) targeting solution, and is compatible with an unequalled range of government and commercial image sources.
