The Fusion of Imagery and GIS
As national security concerns have increased, so has the need for timely and accurate intelligence information. It is this critical need that has driven the advancements in technology which enable the fusion of imagery and geospatial information into a single integrated discipline. This discipline, coined Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT), offers the United States an unprecedented edge in the national security arena. Now for the first time in history, we can produce a digital battlefield which enables both decision makers and warfighters to know their adversaries and battle space like never before.
The ELT/Series product suite provides a complete solution for all levels of geospatial intelligence analysis. ELT/Series has continued to evolve with the most innovative capabilities to meet users’ ever expanding needs.
Easy-to-Use and Customize
ELT/Series products are very easy to use and learn. Their intuitive graphical user interfaces (GUIs) feature a familiar Windows-like set of menus, toolbars and dialog boxes which enable analysts to effortlessly build sophisticated GEOINT reports and analysis. ELT/Series GUIs have been thoughtfully designed with direct input from the GEOINT community to maximize user efficiency and streamline workflows.
ELT/Series products are highly customizable, enabling analysts to save and load customizations of their user interface for specific workflows. This is especially useful when the product is used by more than one individual.
Modular Approach
ELT/Series products are flexible applications comprised of a powerful core product and supporting extensions. Using a modular approach, ELT/Series products enable analysts to cost-effectively and seamlessly scale their capabilities to meet specific and dynamic needs. Overwatch’s modular approach minimizes both procurement costs and training needs as new functionality requirements evolve.
Innovation and Performance
Unlike other applications, ELT/Series products are specifically designed to handle large imagery with ease. ELT/Series multi-threaded processing chain technology improves image processing time, increasing user productivity. In addition, Overwatch’s software developers have worked extensively with monitor and graphics card manufacturers to optimize hardware and software performance levels. These enhancements are most evident in ELT/Series’ ultra-smooth and jitter-free roaming performance.
Overwatch offers both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of ELT/Series products which run on Microsoft Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. The 64-bit architecture is ideally suited for memory intensive applications such as image processing, virtually eliminating memory limitations inherent in the 32-bit architecture. With the 64-bit version of ELT/Series users can expect a 20%-30% increase in overall performance.
ELT/Series products fuse traditional image exploitation functionality with geospatial analysis in easy-to-use software applications and are NITF-Certified to CLEVEL 07.
Whether assessing targets or studying the effects of natural disasters, the ELT/Series suite of imagery and geospatial analysis products bring together the tools that analysts need to produce timely, relevant and accurate GEOINT products.
