Project SERVIR and (IAGT)

SERVIR is a NASA-funded project with the aim of maximizing the use of Earth resources. This involves weather prediction, climate change, and quantitative data regarding stockpiles as well.

IAGT is working with other companies to aid the project.

IAGT has modified the program supplied by NASA in order to allow the importing of GIS images. This "will assist policy makers, scientists, educators, international organizations, and the general public in better understanding and addressing the complex and dynamic environmental and ecological issues in Mesoamerica. The end result of IAGT's efforts will help foster data analysis and information exchange throughout Mesoamerica in ways previously unavailable."

IAGT publicly released their client available for download, and it is available at their webpage.

In addition, IAGT has a seminar available to the public or interested persons who want a more hands-on learning experience with their client.

Project IMINT-KDB and
IMINT-KDB is a Fleximage project with the aim of providing "real-time operational assistance, knowledge sharing and training".

Deals with infrastructures such as Missiles Sites, Airfields, or Industrial Installations
By searching for specific assets, the user is able to access lists of related elements and imagery.
The IMINT-KDB can also integrate with other image analysis tools to share features.
Used for milary briefing and quick action.

Project RECCE-Engine and Fleximage

RECCE-Engine is a Fleximage product with the same aim of IMINT-KDB, to provide real-time assistance and training, except in a different direction.

Deals with mobile vehicles like battle tanks, ships and aircraft.
With a basis on standard military recognition guidelines such as WEFT to identify mobile equipment.
Draws elements from a database of thousands of military vehicles from all air forces, navies and armies of the world.

Project FIRES and Geospatial Applications

Background
- Used GIS software in order to more effectively control and predict wildfire appearance and destruction. Wildfires have had a troubling increase in destruction over the past relative decade, and scientists had a desire to quell the blazes.
Application
- Several organizations created data and compiled images in order to use the present resources and land to its capacity
- Resources such as fuel and forests had to all be viewable from a workstation. To do this, the appropriate maps and data were loaded into GIS software in order for personnel to predict the probability of fire outbreaks.
Results
- With the successful harnessing of GIS, future fires are now much more manageable. Geospatial Technology can and will be adapted to better suit the protocols involved with wildfires.
The Future
- This 241 page report will serve as a starting point and reference material for other persons looking to minimize disasters. Those could be fires, but also tsunamis, hurricanes, and tornados.
