AcuSoft, Inc.
"Power Tools"
AcuSoft demonstrated the latest versions of its
software applications. The Side-by-Side Viewer was used to demonstrate
how visual artifacts can be located on multiple versions of a transmittal:
from models, to terrain, to individual polygons. AcuSoft also provided
personal demonstrations of MSDE, PowerSTRIPS and AcuScene. For more information,
visit the AcuSoft Web
Site or e-mail the AcuSoft Point of
Contact, Jesse Liu.

AEgis Technologies Group, Inc.
"SEDRIS Training Opportunities"
AEgis provided information on SEDRIS Training
opportunities. One of the training opportunities that AEgis offers includes
the two-day course, "A Short Course on the Environmental Data Coding
Specification (EDCS), with an Introduction to SEDRIS(tm)". This course
provides an in-depth understanding of the EDCS, its dictionaries, and how
to apply the EDCS in order to enable the interoperation of heterogeneous
systems and IT applications that use environmental data.

Object Raku Technology, Inc.
"Rapid Urban SEDRIS Production for Real-World
Sites"
Object Raku has worked in the area of mission
planning in urban environments since 1998, through involvement with the
Military Operations In Urban Terrain (MOUT) Advanced Concept Technology
Demonstration (ACTD) program. VWT is the selected candidate for the Virtual
Mission Planning Requirement (R40) of the MOUT ACTD. It is now an interim
capability, used by the experimental force (three battalions of the 10th
Mountain Div), and the transition manager of the ACTD is working to transition
the product for use in Army and Marines. Object Raku’s existing rapid scene
generation tool Sextant Virtual Warfighting Tool (VWT) is being modified
to provide output to the SEDRIS transmittal format. The aim is to rapidly
prototype 3D scenes from standard NIMA or commercial GIS data with output
to SEDRIS transmittal file. VWT already reads the standard NIMA/commercial
GIS data and creates an internal object model and displays a 2D map (plan
view) and 3D visualization of the data. The 2D/3D display is interactive,
and items in 3D can be dynamically regenerated when new information is
received. Some of the information can currently be output to a SEDRIS transmittal,
describing treelines, point objects including trees, canopy treelines,
and buildings, with more available soon. Information as to what each object
represents is preserved in the transmittal, along with its properties and
location information. Once in the form of a SEDRIS transmittal, the data
can be used, for instance, for creation of a Compact Terrain Database (CTDB)
for use in STRICOM simulation systems using the SEDRIS to CTDB compiler.

Raku Web Site or e-mail the Object
Raku Point of Contact, Mike Parlow.

ProLogic, Inc.
"SAGE - ArcGIS to SEDRIS Conversion Tool"
ProLogic demonstrated a pre-release version of the SAGE tool for producing
SEDRIS transmittals from ESRI ArcGIS data. SAGE is an ArcGIS extension
that will export Feature Layers, Triangulated Irregular Networks (TINs),
and elevation grids into an STF file. SAGE runs on Windows, has an intuitive
user interface, supports EDCS classification and attribution through extensible
modules, and maps ArcGIS Coordinate Systems into SEDRIS SRFs. With SAGE,
SEDRIS producers can use ArcGIS's extensive data import, editing, and analysis
functionality to prepare GIS data and then easily create SEDRIS transmittals.
For more information, visit the SAGE
Web Site or e-mail the ProLogic
Point of Contact, Chetan Desai.

Science Applications International
Corporation (SAIC)
"Innovative SEDRIS Applications"
SAIC demonstrated the Focus and PortSim applications.
SAIC demonstrated some of the latest upgrades to the Focus tool to examine,
analyze and manipulate STF transmittals. SAIC also demonstrated PortSim,
a portable, high-resolution interactive simulation capability of ports
and harbors that would provide realistic operational support for navigational
safety, schoolhouse and ship-board training, as well as provide for mission
rehearsal and port protection. For more information, visit the SAIC
Web Site or e-mail the SAIC
Point of Contact, David Shen.
