Acquiring and integrating geospatial, temporal, and sensor data is critical to improving real-time understanding of rapidly changing conditions. Conventional methods are labor intensive, involve multiple technologies that are not well integrated, and require numerous steps to produce consolidated maps, images, and reports. Key to maximizing situational awareness is the ability to rapidly collect disparate human, social, and cultural intelligence and bring the geospatial, temporal, and environmental context of the features and/or events together into a common operating picture (COP). |
