BAE SYSTEMS SOCET GXP(TM) Software Simplifies Geospatial Analysis.SAN DIEGO San Diego (săn dēā`gō), city (1990 pop. 1,110,549), seat of San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1850. San Diego includes the unincorporated communities of La Jolla and Spring Valley. Coronado is across the bay. -- BAE Systems BAE Systems British manufacturer of aircraft, missiles, avionics, naval vessels, and other aerospace and defense products. BAE Systems was formed (1999) from the merger of British Aerospace (BAe) with Marconi Electronic Systems. has released an upgraded version of its SOCET SOCET Softcopy Exploitation Tool GXP GXP Geospatial Exploitation Products GXP Galaxy Police (anime) GXP Grid Exit Point (utilities, electricity) GxP Good X Practice software application that supports image analysis, geospatial analysis, photogrammetry photogrammetry: see aerial and satellite photography. , 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 defense customers by providing highly accurate geospatial data and reference tools. "The fields of image analysis and geospatial analysis are merging as technologies advance," said Dan London, vice president of GXP sales and marketing for BAE Systems. "The latest version of SOCET GXP broadens users' capabilities and introduces new features for creating professional geospatial products on the fly." One new feature is the 3-D fly-through, which simulates real world scenarios and gives customers a cost-effective way to preview a geographic area in three dimensions for improved situational awareness Situation awareness or situational awareness [1] (SA) is the mental representation and understanding of objects, events, people, system states, interactions, environmental conditions, and other situation-specific factors affecting human performance in 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 visualization to view digital elevation models against imagery; a map finishing tool for creating advanced imagery products, with the option of direct export to PowerPoint(R); and targeting. The new critical targeting component is fully integrated with the U.S. Navy's Common Geopositioning Services (CGS CGS centimeter-gram-second system. CGS or cgs abbr. centimeter-gram-second system. CGS, c.g.s. ) targeting solution, and is compatible with an unequalled range of government and commercial image sources. "The updates offered in SOCET GXP v2.1 benefit a large community of users, including image analysts, geospatial analysts and targeteers, who view the comprehensive software package as a long-term solution," said London. "The software is easy to learn and provides a familiar working environment for analysts who perform various tasks across different workstations." Developed with a comparable appearance, user experience and range of functionality for both Windows(R) and UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). (R) platforms, SOCET GXP v2.1 delivers performance unmatched in the industry, according to London. Users of SOCET GXP v2.1 will experience the added convenience of using one software tool to complete multiple tasks, a new concept that distinguishes SOCET GXP from competitive products. BAE Systems is an international company engaged in the development, delivery, and support of advanced defense and aerospace systems in the air, on land, at sea, and in space.
