DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI), a leading global provider of
high-resolution earth imagery solutions, launched two new
geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) services today at GEOINT 2011, the
nation's largest intelligence event. Both services, available now,
are designed to enable faster response, smarter decisions, and more
effective management of on-the-ground personnel during natural and
man-made disasters.
"Now more than ever, on-demand access and real-time sharing of
geospatial intelligence can make the difference between life and
death in crisis situations," said Jeff Kerridge, senior vice
president and general manager, defense and intelligence at
DigitalGlobe. "With these new services, our goal is to put the
power of GEOINT in the hands of more first responders, wherever and
whenever they need it, helping them achieve their missions and save
more lives."
DigitalGlobe FirstWatch™ The first new solution, DigitalGlobe FirstWatch™, is
a rapid analysis and reporting service designed to help users more
quickly assess and formulate response strategies following natural
and man-made disasters.
When a crisis event occurs, the DigitalGlobe FirstLook™ service
is activated and begins collecting new imagery from the affected
region. Immediately after new imagery is downloaded, experts in the
DigitalGlobe Analysis Center begin rapidly analyzing the images,
publishing a comprehensive DigitalGlobe FirstWatch™ report within
hours after the event occurs.
Reports include a wide-range of information to assist
humanitarian relief personnel assess the scope and magnitude of the
event and start formulating the most effective response plan. They
identify key details on the ground, including evidence of
structural damage, infrastructure failures, changes to topography,
flood water depth and other potentially life-threatening
elements.
"DigitalGlobe FirstWatch™ reports provide rapid preliminary
analysis using the most up-to-date imagery available," said Stephen
Wood, vice president of the DigitalGlobe Analysis Center. "This
frees customers to concentrate on addressing the next set of
critical questions sooner, such as what may happen next, what more
they need to know, and what are the best options for deploying
personnel on the ground."
To date, DigitalGlobe has produced reports for more than 50
events worldwide, including the earthquake and subsequent crisis
events in Japan, and the impact of Hurricane Irene and Midwest
flooding in the U.S. The latest report examples and excerpts can be
found at www.digitalglobe.com/firstwatch.
Diplomatic Facilities Support Package In
addition to launching the DigitalGlobe FirstWatch™ reporting
service, the company also jointly unveiled the new Diplomatic
Facilities Support Package with partner CACI International Inc.
(NYSE: CACI).
The package is a first-of-its kind solution, specifically
designed to help governments more quickly and effectively respond
to threats to diplomatic facilities and citizens abroad.
It dynamically combines DigitalGlobe's sub-meter resolution
imagery with CACI's geospatial feature content to provide users
with a current view of geographical landscapes, structures, routes
and roadways, and critical resources. Additionally, it provides
virtual whiteboards and comprehensive annotation tools, allowing
users to layer additional data on top of existing content and
customize information, then share their whiteboards securely with
other users of the service.
Further, because it is based on open industry standards, it
gives users the flexibility to access the full functionality though
a wide range of devices and computing platforms, including any
current web browser running on desktop, laptop or most handheld
devices.
"No matter where users are on the planet, all they need is a
browser and Internet access to gain access to the complete
functionality of the package," said Jack Hild, vice president, U.S.
and international defense and intelligence strategy at
DigitalGlobe. "The imagery, feature information and shared
whiteboard annotations are updated dynamically through the cloud.
The ability to access and annotate recent imagery allows
organizations to identify high-risk areas, plan staging bases and
safe-haven operations, manage key resources, and collaborate with
partners like never before."
The solution also features comprehensive integration with
DigitalGlobe's FirstLook™ crisis event monitoring and image
delivery service. When viewing an area of interest in the
Diplomatic Facilities Support Package interface, users are alerted
with unique on-screen icons when DigitalGlobe FirstLook™ imagery
becomes available for the region. Subscribers can then select
DigitalGlobe FirstLook™ service from the list of available content
layers, instantly replacing the existing basemap imagery with new
DigitalGlobe FirstLook™ imagery captured within hours after the
event occurs.
Jake Jacoby, executive vice president in CACI's National
Solutions Group, said, "The Diplomatic Facility Support Package has
the potential to significantly improve security for diplomatic
facilities in emergency situations and to reduce threats to
American lives. Its applications are broad and far reaching. It
combines imagery, rich geospatial information, and real-time
collaboration tools and puts them at the disposal of those charged
with mission execution. This innovative approach by DigitalGlobe
and CACI takes advantage of the capabilities of both companies to
provide GEOINT on demand."
Demonstrations of the Diplomatic Facilities Support Package will
be taking place at the DigitalGlobe booth #337 and the CACI booth
#273. For more information, visit www.digitalglobe.com/dipfac.
