Product description
The digital map table is a software system for shared situation visualization and analysis. Any number of users can work independently of each other on the same situation, using personal computers and tablets alongside shared digital tables or large screens.
The underlying software is modular and can easily be custom-tailored towards specific needs and extended depending on the requirements. Its uses range from educational use to mission preparation, mission execution, and review. A diverse range of data sources and geodata can be integrated to provide the right information for each use-case. This provides the basis to correctly judge the situation and make the right decisions.
Situational Awareness
The concept of individual layers for visualizing and editing allows users to adjust and filter the displayed map information. Layers can be stacked and blended to combine the information into a single coherent view. DigLT provides interfaces for many different internal and external sources of data, thus allowing layers to contain a wide range of 2D and 3D maps and additional information such as annotations, reconnaissance data, live video feeds, blue force tracking etc. Currently supported functionality ranges from drawing and measurement tools, use of APP6 symbology, viewshed visualization, up to a timeline, which allows to freely move through time and experience situational awareness in four dimensions.
Client Devices
The DigLT software runs on a wide variety of connected devices. By adhering to standards, all devices can access all available data sources. This includes standards from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) as well as a wide range of NATO standards. The open and modular architecture allows for easy integration of proprietary interfaces as well. All information can be kept in separate layers, which can be updated independentlyand arbitrarily combined for visualization. A web-based client is used to display all information (DigLT Web) which allows for great flexibility as many user devices integrate a browser.
