GEOINT attendees get preview of the new Conflict Atlas product
from IHS Jane’s and Airbus Defence and Space
Today, attendees of the GEOINT 2016 Symposium got a sneak peek
at the new product from IHS Jane’s (NYSE: IHS), the leading global
source of critical information and insight, and Airbus Defence and
Space, recognized as a world leader in geospatial data provision
and defence intelligence.
Conflict Atlas combines Airbus Defence and Space’s satellite
imagery with IHS Jane’s data and insight into a powerful new tool
for the global intelligence community.
For the first time, users will be able to navigate to a region
of conflict or instability and view high resolution satellite
imagery with key content such as military installations, terrorist
activity, country profiles and the latest security insight mapped
across each area.
“One of the biggest problems facing the intelligence community
is how to manage big data across agencies and divisions while
delivering clear actionable results,” said Blake Bartlett, senior
vice president of IHS Jane’s. “Conflict Atlas is a unique, powerful
tool that will help the intelligence community share and verify
intelligence, manage big data and quickly identify critical focus
areas.”
Key features of Conflict Atlas are:
- Whole country and regional coverage at
1.5 meter resolution and military site of interest at 0.5 meter
resolution, to support the high currency and coverage rate
requirements of the GEOINT community;
- Access to industry leading data and
insight from IHS Jane’s including: military bases, surface-to-air
missile sites, terrorism and counterterrorism events, security news
and insights and equipment profiles specifications.
Airbus Defence and Space has created blanket ortho-rectified
colour imagery mosaics over areas of interest, locally enriched
with high resolution images over the densest, most critical areas
including city centers, airports and military installations.
“Conflict Atlas is a new commercial GEOINT capability whereby
all intelligence sources can be fused and combined,” said Bernhard
Brenner, head of intelligence business cluster at Airbus Defence
and Space. “Thanks to our multi-resolution satellite constellation,
we guarantee seamless user access to a mix of fresh satellite
imagery, open sources data and analytic products.”
IHS Jane’s has been using imagery from Airbus Defence and Space
for more than two years, breaking significant news stories on a
second Russian base in Syria, new developments in North Korea’s
nuclear program as well as island building in the South China Sea.
This new product furthers the IHS and Airbus Defence and Space
partnership and gives users access to the industry’s leading
tools.
