U.S. ARMY ENGINEER RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER
REMOTE ESTIMATION OF FOREST DENSITY TO AID IN WARFIGHTER MOBILITY SUPPORT
Forest characterization using traditional forestry methods requires intricate and thorough field measurements across numerous plots. The level of detail and resolution acquired simply has not been reproduced using remote techniques.
AF CIVIL ENGINEERING
AUTOMATICALLY IDENTIFY CHANGES TO ELECTRIC POWER LINES, TRANSFORMERS, ETC. TO BETTER PRIORITIZE AND ALLOCATE RESOURCES FOR IN-DEPTH INSPECTIONS
Identify changes in infrastructure (power-lines, etc) using automated aerial, space, and other data analyses to better prioritize and allocate resources for in-depth inspections.
ARMY PSYOP
ON-DEMAND GEOSPATIAL DATA FOR TARGET AUDIENCE ANALYSIS
Our PSYOP soldiers need a tool or suite to enable on-demand query and delivery of open source satellite/other geo sensing data to support Target Audience Analysis (TAA).
AF SPACE
REMOTELY ASSESS INFRASTRUCTURE CONDITIONS FASTER AND SAFER THAN CURRENT PROCESS OF MANNED-INSPECTIONS. (AIR FORCE)
Forest characterization using traditional forestry methods requires intricate and thorough field measurements across numerous plots. The level of detail and resolution acquired simply has not been reproduced using remote techniques.
